The Ham Radio two point zero audio podcast rip. Thank you for downloading and listening to this podcast. So basically what I do is I take all the audio clips out of my videos and upload them to spreaker, and then from there they're spread out to iTunes and SoundCloud and now Amazon Audible as well. But I want to welcome you and thank you for joining the audio section of

this series on Ham Radio. I hope you enjoy it, and I would appreciate you leaving us a comment or a review on whatever podcast service you're listening from. Thank you in seventy three, I hope you enjoy it. AO Lithium sent me a battery one hundred amp hours. Ah, it's actually not that heavy. It's a one hundred amp our cards battery and it has Bluetooth

five point zero. It's a live pop four obviously twelve old one hundred amp hour four s I don't know what the fours means, Bluetooth five point zero, and it's got apps for the Google play Store and the Apple play Store, and it's got an FCC ID on the front of it. I'm gonna put it on the West Mountain Radio thing right now. Ham Radio two point over reviews, news and how twos of things that are new in ham radio. But I love these battery tests. So let me put this on the

meter and then we'll pull up the West Mountain Radio software. All right, So I've got the West Mountain Radio software plugged in to my CBA five and got this test open up just the same way we do all these other battery tests. I'm going to charge it at one amp an hour to see if it lasts one hundred hours, which is what it's advertised at. I did notice that the top of the battery has a red post in a blue post. The negative terminal is blue instead of black. I don't know, strange,

but okay, all right, let's click on detect here. It detects thirteen point four volts. Capacity it doesn't detect always set that myself and sells is number four. The weight and the age is something that I set for a previous battery that it does not apply today because the only thing it really detects is the voltage. That's really the only thing it detects. So this comes in at thirteen point four. I charge this last night. I know

it's topped off, so we're gonna get a good charge on it. So I'm gonna click start right here, and it's gonna start right there at thirteen point four. Actually it's yeah, thirteen point four, sitting there at about thirteen point three, and we're gonna let that go. It's gonna take about four days, but that's okay. Hopefully it'll take four days. It's one hundred amp hours. That's ninety six hours is four days, So hopefully this

will go for about four days. I'll see you in four days. That test ran, and I've got the results that I'm going to show you here in just a second. But right now, I'm gonna install the Bluetooth app by scanning that code. Install that AO Lithium is the name of the app. It's got that yellow kind of yeah, yellowish orange icon right there. Okay, open, sure, it makes you accept something all allow, Okay. While using the app searching device list, there we go. Okay,

there's my battery right there. I assume that's my battery. Is the only aolithium battery that I have, so connecting to that and guess what. After I ran this test, I charge the battery backup the next day, and it's been sitting for about a week since I've charged the battery backup, so the fact that it's one hundred percent after sitting for a week is very good. You can see right here the current voltage is thirteen dot three four volts

good current. The current current at the time of this recording, current in and out of the battery zero because I don't have anything plugged into it right now. That's the temperature. This the power cycles it's been charged down and up one time. I like it when these apps show cycles about how many how much life you have left in your battery basically and then average voltage. There normal capacity is ninety eight dot one six amp hours and residual capacities ninety

eight dot one five ampowers. So according to this the normal capacity is ninety eight dot one six amp hours. It's not truly hundred am powers, which is okay because according to this test complete I got right here, this battery actually came in rated at ninety eight dot six eight five amp hours measured WAT hours is one two hundred and eighty one dot seven two. That shows as

a ninety eight point seven percent efficiency. However, however, if according to this app the normal capacity is actually ninety eight dot one five or one six or one five, and it's reading it ninety eight dot six eight five.

It's actually higher capacity. It's saying ninety eight point seven percent capacity because I told the CBA five software that it was one hundred amp hour battery, so it's actually kind of rated at ninety eight amp hours ninety eight point one, and it's coming in at ninety eight point six, so it should be actually over capacity. So if I was running to test again, it'd probably come in at like one hundred dot five or one hundred and one percent efficiency something

like that. But after all of that, I think it comes in really well. And I would like to know what you think about the battery
