A day with a new Colin's Lab video is a good day

I've learned more about electronics from Collin, than anyone else

He has a way of really breaking it down while making me feel groovy at the same time. Thanks, Collin! Nobody helps me learn more about electronics projects and electrical engineering pertinent theory than you do!

This was my first "Collin's Lab" video. Great delivery of the topic.

when he threw that led with a magnet and battery at the ceiling had me dying haha I'm gonna do that.

Collin's lab is what you do best Collin. Keep doing you as your best.

Dude, you have the best dry humor I've run into in a while. Great info as well and very well explained.

Collin, your videos are really great and I have enjoyed watching them and learning over the years. I just wanted to say Thank You. Bill

I really like these videos. Collin's is great. So glad it is back.

I've started to get into basic electronic projects and this is a huge help. Thanks for the video!

Finally!! Your Back! FOR SCIENCE!!!

I just cant get enough of these videos. tremendously informative and this was one of the funniest ones ive seen to date.. Please do keep producing these videos.. you need to get your own show, seriously.. thanks from Vancouver, BC

Many thanks for essential information of battery, wish you and family the best , stay safe and healthy

I enjoy watching your videos , u have ur way of making science so enjoyable

Collin's Lab is the best!

super nice, clear explanation of batteries we use everyday without really knowing what they are Perfect video, thank you so much :D

Excellent way of educating a hard subject, Collin your entertaining presentations are tempting to follow endlessly. Thank you very much for your knowledge sharing....God Bless You.....

Nice. Thank you for the video. Where do nickel cadmium batteries fit in a this. What are their characteristics?

Your videos are awesome.....keep going.. I love all of your videos.

Thanks! Please explain about Lifepo4 as well.

Love the videos full of good information.

Happy new year to all at Adafruit and Colin Cunningham. ;-)

You, sir, got a new subscriber 👌🏼

very informative. thank you

Amazing Video. Hats off to you sir... Impressive....

Awesomely explained

Nice synth schematics in the background.

More Colin!

more we need more. Please

Thank you for sharing this video , really useful to me. شكرا جزيلا على المعلومات القيمة

Colin is the man!!!

Can you make a third battery video that explains how alkaline recharging units work now? I'd love to see some of the chemistry specifics. I have a recharging unit that has a sliding switch to change between nickel metal hydride, alkaline, and one other type. It works decently for alkalines but I haven't been able to find a good explanation for my chem students about why alkaline recharging is suddenly possible or what happens in the cell when it's being recharged and your explanations are so nice, crisp, and clear! Thank you for Colin's lab, I use them all the time with my robotics and physics class! Now I will use these battery ones with my chemistry kids when we do electrochemical cells!

Collin is my new hero.

My favorite is the Ni-Cad after LiPOs.

I'm impressed!

Your videos is amazing !!!!!

It helped me A Lot to learn the reasoning in the number code on most CR-coin cell batteries. I live in the metric part of the world so it's kind of easy. So the numbers correspond to the dimensions. For example [ CR1025 ] = 10mm diameter x 2,5mm thickness... or CR3032 is 30 x 3,2 mm etc... I don't know why they aren't more consistent but it helps to know approximately what you are looking for.

dude more videos There r young aspirants who can understand electronics really easily really nice dude

I'll like Colin's videos a lot, and I want to contribute Hebrew subtitles for my students. Can you open the option to add subtitles?

5:52 starter lighter ignition (SLI) lead acid are good for huge currents for starter motors, not to discharge and charge, deep cycle lead acid are good for charging dscharging for backup power

do a video on the new solid state batteries

Collin, maybe you should include some explanation on C-rating and discharge curve

Excellent.

Collin is my reason for life

I really wish to meet him once..!!

There's a UKposts channel called ' Grand illusions' and the presenter looks as if he could be your long lost great uncle

Is the (-) terminal is actually 0v or nagative voltage?

oh come on we need more videos

Stellar

yes yes and yes Collin

How will you get the LED down?

Lead Acid Batteries are 12V and not 2V. I think it was a typo in 5:23

Exelant

Finally your here again

yes 😀

I've never seen someone make themselves yawn. Sure worked on me.

Best 😍 ever

Collins lab is the best

Nominal cell voltage is just the rough average voltage to expect over the course of a discharge. A LiPo, while nominal 3.6-3.7 V, goes from about 4.2 when full down to 3.6 when empty. (open circuit) Alkaline go form 1.6v down to ~1 V. lead-batteries: high surge currents? for their capacity kinda yes, for their size/weight no. They are used cause they are cheap and don't degrade with lifetime as much and fail more gradually.

Hey at end you charge us and discharge your self ?

Whats with pseudo random?

Late, very late, question from the peanut gallery, but I've always wondered - why would a manufacturer choose AAA over AA, or D, or others? For a while, I thought maybe it was just "which is the smallest I can get away with?", but after this video, I'm thinking, maybe, it's all about the mAh. Am I getting warmer, or am I (still) way out in left field?

What happened the Apple cell phone the battery expanded , when charge it hot and have to return to apple store the cell phone

i'm doing a project where i'm making a larp nerf gun for the upcoming danish event sunfall, and i'm planning to put led's in the barrel. i really wanna run them of a li-po battery but i'm really scared im gonna puncture it because im gonna be combat rolling and dropping it all over the place... is it a horrible idea? also can i just say, that colin is looking goooood! that graying in his beard and hair really suits him! :)

sweet.

So why do lipos explode?

i tasted a 9V battery too when i was a kid 😂

Aren't there recycling points for alcaline batteries?

3:46 I didn't know that

TX, really...didn’t know so much existed

Da boss

Testing battery condition with your tongue is the only reliable way of measuring both Ampere and Volt at the same time...

lead acid has 2v? is that a typo?

I'm absolutely shocked that there was no mention of carbon cell batteries!!

I wish they still made mercury batteries.

classic

underdog

so in human body is it called glycogen and fat?

i have a milk frother! i know what that is!

My pkcells!

You are so much wrong. I don't know where to start correcting...
