# BATTERY
* lipo can charge at 1C
* 5900mAh -> 5.9A

Strawman design proposal: 1S LiPo, 18650 for easy ubiquitous availability
(~3,000 mAh).  Add cells in parallel until you get the capacity you want.

    * 5-18V input, USB-C or PV/DC
    * CC at 1.0 A, 0.5 A, or 0.25 A
    * handles LiPo/LiIon or LiFePo cells
    * optional thermistor to reduce charge current when battery overheats

strawman: charging up to 4v with the INR18650 (see `CELLS:INR18650-35E` for the discharge capacity graph, and `CHARGERS:3` for 4V cutoff w/ a 5V panel) gives us ~3000mAh, or 88% of the 3398mAh tested battery life.
