Hi,
I was wondering if I could put 3.6 amps (from 8 such solar cells in series) into a lifepo4 battery indefinitely? About .475 volts would be dropped by a 1N5820 from the 4 volt solar panel. Thus 3.525 is (the theoretical) max on this set up. Now, is that alright or is it still damaging, even though not above max.
I plan to charge a 10Ah (so not to worry about overcharge at first) in about four hours to light up two or three Crees at whatever (low mA) cuurent is still available. I know they light up pretty good at less than 3 volts.
Thanks,
