Battery

Typical consumption: 5W. Need around 50Wh capacity. 4 cell needed to be able to use a DC/DC dropdown to 12V. Would use a DC charger of 18-20V.

parallel=6; cells=4; voltage=3.7; capacity=550e-3; watts=parallel*capacity*voltage*cells; print(watts)

Circular cells

  • 18650 batteries are 18.6mm standard. Capacity around 3000mAh. Too thick to be underneath the screen and limits total thickness of screen part to 20mm. 1p*4s=4batteries @ 3000mAh = 44Wh. 2p=88Wh.
  • 14500 are 14×53mm (AA size). Capacity around 1000mAh. 3p*4s=12batteries @ 1000mAh = 44Wh. 4p=60Wh. 1

LiPo 1s pack

LiPo flatpacks. 1 cell approx 7mm thick. Can stack 2 in height under screen. 6p*4s=24batteries @ 550mAH = 48Wh.
