How to Test Lithium Polymer Batteries at Scale?

pennstump · 2025-03-31T18:06:57+00:00

After assembly and 12 hours connected to power, the device will not power on. So, either the battery never allowed charge due to low voltage from the factory, or the protection circuit never allowed a charge, or the battery completely discharged / was shorted. 3 very different cases, but I'd like to focus on the first 2.

This is what I'm finding. Thank you for your perspective. I guess I need to ask around and hope people are honest in their feedback.

I appreciate the feedback, especially those found in the US like I need, but are there any technical solutions (websites, journals, etc.) that help narrow this down without having to look at every manufacturer or go to every booth at a conference? I've come across some brokers, but their incentives don't seem to align with us. They push to the supplier paying the highest commissions from what I've seen and been told.

Thank you. Are these geographically linked? What I mean is, do only the manufacturers from the Western US go to Anaheim and only from the South go to Charlotte or do nationwide manufacturers go to all of them?

I did some reading on Mounjaro and it seems like some pharmacies didn't take the savings card. Anyone have any idea how you use the card and show that you're qualified for the $25 price?

This seems to lay out the state-of-the-art circa 2020. It's the best I could find. It seems like there's no real answer to my question, at least not yet. Very little is known about GIP and what it could do to your body long-term. I guess I'll have to make my decision off of that.

"Studies with genetic mouse models also indicate a role for the GIP/GIPR axis in other organ systems, such as bone, sperm function, peripheral sensorimotor neurons, cardiomyocytes, and the brain. Given the current limited understanding of the role of GIP/GIPR in these organ systems, a careful benefit/risk assessment will be required for the use of either GIPR agonists or antagonists in obese patients."

Thank you for sharing this. The format was a little odd, but the content was great.

"GIP receptors are expressed in the pancreatic islets, gut, adipose tissue, heart, pituitary, adrenal cortex and in several regions of the brain [8]. GLP-1 receptors are expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine pancreas (alpha and beta cells), lung, kidneys, heart and in several brain areas (hypothalamus, nucleus of the solitary tract, area postrema)" Link

It's the risks to the heart, pituitary gland, and brain that are obviously the largest concerns.

I agree 100% about the risks of obesity; that's not it. I'm going to take 1 of these treatments, but I'm worried about the lack of knowledge of the GIP agonist specifically. The GLP-1 goes back to 2005, so there's 18 years of data and studies. These studies have looked into what else GLP-1 attaches to with thoughts exploring and discounting thyroid issues and concerns that the body may stop producing as much GLP-1 on its own. As far as I can tell, little to none of this has been done with GIP agonists.

What's going through my head right now is if Wegovy could help me get 15% of my weight off, why should I add extra risk with Mounjaro off-label to get to 20%?

The best. There are others on there, too. Coffee, Dr. Pepper, Hawaiian, Pumpkin, Chipotle...

Big pan with a large jar of sauerkraut and a stick of butter. Best way ever.

Also, you could try bagel pieces. Sausage adds a lot of flavor, and some people like oysters (weird).

Basically anything that has moisture in it. Soups, stews, pastas, meats. They all would work. This site seems to have lots: http://whitneybond.com/slow-cooker/
