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. This
is the new red Odo one hundred mini. I wanted to compare it to
this one here. This is their red Odo one hundred smart battery. It
has a self heeter in it and it has a power button that you can
turn the battery off and on. But I asked him, I said,
they told me it was They call it a smart battery, and I'm like,
does it have bluetooth? And they said no. I'm like, typically
when you say something smart like this, that means it has bluetooth, like
a smart charge controller or smart battery or something like that. I guess you
can kind of define out however you want to. But this is their hundred
mp Hower smart battery. This is their hundred MP hour mini, and this
is the one we're going to talk about today. It is smaller. It's
like ten percent lighter and thirty percent smaller. They were kind enough to send
me this battery. You can check all of the stuff they have in the
link in the description below, and there's a discount coupon. Also, it's
usually somewhere around four to five percent. They change that sometimes, so depending
on when you're watching this video, you might be able to save four percent
or five percent off of the even if they have a sale price with the
coupon code of Ham Radio. So check the link in the description below,
depending on when you're watching this video. But I want to do a capacity
test for this one hundred damp Hower battery. They told me it should be
rated right at one hundred mp howers. I did the capacity a test on
their fifty battery and it came in right over sixty MP hours, so I
was incredibly happy with that. I asked them if I would get the same
results with this one. They said no, this one's actually rated closer to
what it's actually advertised at. I'm like, great, that's fine because it's
the smallest one hundred damp live pop four battery that I have ever seen.
So let's take a look. Well, it's good to be in the shack
with the air condisher and out of the cicadas. This is ka is.
They're kind of soothing, but they're loud, all right, So red Odo
one hundred many, we're gonna hook this up. It's right there, there
we go. We're gonna hook this up to the West Mountain Radio software that
we normally use. We've got battery type as life P four. Voltage is
thirteen dot eight, capacities one hundred and sells or four. I'm going to
click on detec to haven't done that yet. Okay, it reads the voltage
is thirteen dot four. Wait, and age don't really matter, so they
cut off. Voltage is ten. I could kind of change that to like
ten dot five or ten dot eight. I guess the BMS will cut it
off. I could put that at zero and the BMS. Provided the battery
we're testing today has a good BMS red Odo does, some brands may not,
the BMS should cut it off when it says, oh that's enough,
you're gonna damage the cells. We don't want to go that low. You're
done, So the bms should always take care of your battery for you.
So we'll see. All right, let's click on start. This is one
hundred amp hour battery, which is going to take just over four days because
twenty four hours a day times four is ninety six. So it's gonna take
four days and four hours for this test to complete, presuming that we get
the results we're expecting. So once again, thank you to red Odo.
Check the link in the description below for this specific battery and for the coupon
code that sometimes changes over time, where you can save a four to five
percent additional to the price you see on their website with the code of ham
Radio. All right, holding true to its word, red Otto, the
one hundred mini lives up to extandard several uh like like other red Otto batteries
I've tested in the past, this one comes in at ninety eight dot one
five nine amp hours twelve hundred and seventy six dot one for what hours,
for an efficiency rating of about ninety eight percent, just over ninety eight percent,
So that's I'd say that's pretty good if you look right here. I
don't know if I can zoom in on that or not. Right there,
yeah, right there. I bumped it while it was running. It took
just over four days to run this. I bumped it while it was running
right there, so that little spot, it acted like it was going to
stop and I was gonna have to start the test over again. But I
paused the software. You can, you can while the test is running.
It doesn't. It's great out right now it's a it's gotta pause button.
You can pause the test. You can stop the test and start the test.
I think if you stop it you have to start over again. But
you can pause the test. So I pause the test, reseated my connections
and started again and it kept going. So hats off to that software that
I use. The software and the CBA five from West Mountain Radio that I
use. Red Odo comes in flying colors. Check the links in the description
Blow. You can usually say they've changed the coupon on me two or three
times, so check the link in the description Blow for a link to the
red Odo battery website. Check the coupon code blow that I'll put blow to
see what the current coupon is, and i'll try to keep that updated.
