hi its me sammie
I, like many other trans women in my community, am addicted to disposable vapes, specifically this Elf Bar. I know this is e waste, so I hoard my empty vapes in a plastic bag. There are dozens now. I took one apart and found that these are LI-PO batteries.
The Solar Protocol in fact was one of the projects that inspired me to take this class.
What do I need?
-
Raspberry Pis run on 5v power. These batteries are 3.4v and 600maH, which means I would need to create a battery pack by wiring groups of batteries in series, then step the voltage down when it enters the Pi with a buck regulator.
-
I read that a Pi needs about 16,000mah to run for 24 hours, and I think I have about as many batteries as I would need to make that happen.

Solar panel + battery controller still unclear
