We take a quick look at what is inside the typical lithium iron phosphate battery cell used in electric vehicles and solar energy storage by cutting into it with a table saw. Kids, don't try this at home. We are doing this purely out of curiosity and wanted to share what we found. We hope you find it interesting.
Luckily for off-gridders, homesteaders or preppers, if your grid will somehow ever go down, you can generate your own electricity. Watch the six part video series bellow and you will deeply understand how to create your own solar back-up system when your grid collapses. The first part of the series examines your needs with regards to the size and design of your system. The second part helps you decide on the necessary batteries.
