The Ham Radio two point zero audio
podcast rip. Thank you for downloading and

2
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.239
listening to this podcast. So basically
what I do is I take all the

3
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:24.679
audio clips out of my videos and
upload them to spreaker, and then from

4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:30.199
there they're spread out to iTunes and
SoundCloud and now Amazon Audible as well.

5
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.719
But I want to welcome you and
thank you for joining the audio section of

6
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:39.679
this series on Ham Radio. I
hope you enjoy it, and I would

7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.560
appreciate you leaving us a comment or
a review on whatever podcast service you're listening

8
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:52.039
from. Thank you in seventy three, I hope you enjoy it. AO

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.759
Lithium sent me a battery one hundred
amp hours. Ah, it's actually not

10
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:02.520
that heavy. It's a one hundred
amp our cards battery and it has Bluetooth

11
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.799
five point zero. It's a live
pop four obviously twelve old one hundred amp

12
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.000
hour four s I don't know what
the fours means, Bluetooth five point zero,

13
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:18.200
and it's got apps for the Google
play Store and the Apple play Store,

14
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.359
and it's got an FCC ID on
the front of it. I'm gonna

15
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:30.120
put it on the West Mountain Radio
thing right now. Ham Radio two point

16
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.599
over reviews, news and how twos
of things that are new in ham radio.

17
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.680
But I love these battery tests.
So let me put this on the

18
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.920
meter and then we'll pull up the
West Mountain Radio software. All right,

19
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:45.000
So I've got the West Mountain Radio
software plugged in to my CBA five and

20
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.599
got this test open up just the
same way we do all these other battery

21
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.280
tests. I'm going to charge it
at one amp an hour to see if

22
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.000
it lasts one hundred hours, which
is what it's advertised at. I did

23
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.959
notice that the top of the battery
has a red post in a blue post.

24
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.640
The negative terminal is blue instead of
black. I don't know, strange,

25
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.799
but okay, all right, let's
click on detect here. It detects

26
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.039
thirteen point four volts. Capacity it
doesn't detect always set that myself and sells

27
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.479
is number four. The weight and
the age is something that I set for

28
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.280
a previous battery that it does not
apply today because the only thing it really

29
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.879
detects is the voltage. That's really
the only thing it detects. So this

30
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.400
comes in at thirteen point four.
I charge this last night. I know

31
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.319
it's topped off, so we're gonna
get a good charge on it. So

32
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.919
I'm gonna click start right here,
and it's gonna start right there at thirteen

33
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.599
point four. Actually it's yeah,
thirteen point four, sitting there at about

34
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.159
thirteen point three, and we're gonna
let that go. It's gonna take about

35
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.479
four days, but that's okay.
Hopefully it'll take four days. It's one

36
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.800
hundred amp hours. That's ninety six
hours is four days, So hopefully this

37
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:57.599
will go for about four days.
I'll see you in four days. That

38
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.680
test ran, and I've got the
results that I'm going to show you here

39
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.199
in just a second. But right
now, I'm gonna install the Bluetooth app

40
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:08.719
by scanning that code. Install that
AO Lithium is the name of the app.

41
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:14.879
It's got that yellow kind of yeah, yellowish orange icon right there.

42
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.560
Okay, open, sure, it
makes you accept something all allow, Okay.

43
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.319
While using the app searching device list, there we go. Okay,

44
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.599
there's my battery right there. I
assume that's my battery. Is the only

45
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:36.039
aolithium battery that I have, so
connecting to that and guess what. After

46
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.000
I ran this test, I charge
the battery backup the next day, and

47
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.280
it's been sitting for about a week
since I've charged the battery backup, so

48
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.280
the fact that it's one hundred percent
after sitting for a week is very good.

49
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.599
You can see right here the current
voltage is thirteen dot three four volts

50
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:54.800
good current. The current current at
the time of this recording, current in

51
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.360
and out of the battery zero because
I don't have anything plugged into it right

52
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.080
now. That's the temperature. This
the power cycles it's been charged down and

53
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.879
up one time. I like it
when these apps show cycles about how many

54
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.159
how much life you have left in
your battery basically and then average voltage.

55
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:18.040
There normal capacity is ninety eight dot
one six amp hours and residual capacities ninety

56
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.279
eight dot one five ampowers. So
according to this the normal capacity is ninety

57
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.040
eight dot one six amp hours.
It's not truly hundred am powers, which

58
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.519
is okay because according to this test
complete I got right here, this battery

59
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:38.439
actually came in rated at ninety eight
dot six eight five amp hours measured WAT

60
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.920
hours is one two hundred and eighty
one dot seven two. That shows as

61
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.800
a ninety eight point seven percent efficiency. However, however, if according to

62
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.000
this app the normal capacity is actually
ninety eight dot one five or one six

63
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.360
or one five, and it's reading
it ninety eight dot six eight five.

64
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.720
It's actually higher capacity. It's saying
ninety eight point seven percent capacity because I

65
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.079
told the CBA five software that it
was one hundred amp hour battery, so

66
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.399
it's actually kind of rated at ninety
eight amp hours ninety eight point one,

67
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.240
and it's coming in at ninety eight
point six, so it should be actually

68
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.959
over capacity. So if I was
running to test again, it'd probably come

69
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.240
in at like one hundred dot five
or one hundred and one percent efficiency something

70
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.079
like that. But after all of
that, I think it comes in really

71
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.439
well. And I would like to
know what you think about the battery
