so far, I've done a couple of repairs, replacing cells in power tools, and am slowly working on building a Ebike battery pack, in the meanwhile, I'm still struggling with technical understanding.
I replaced the cells in my Dyson cordless vacuum, it has 6 cells, quoting 21.6 Volts and 16.2 Amps. Volts x Amps is power, and this comes to 350 Watts, which is what it says on the motor.
1, would I be correct in assuming that just knowing the above information is enough to work out what the battery can power, but not for how long?
2, I could time it if the information was not available ?
upon checking further on the battery pack, it says 2200mAh which I think is 2.2 Ah
3, kWh is Ah x Watts /1000, so 0.77kWh
4, If Amps is a measure of instantaneous current, how do I work out how much current this is per cell ?
5, If I were to have a 6S2P or 6S3P pack to power the same device, I would have more capacity and a longer run time, my guess would be that the current is then shared between those parallel cell, how do I work out how many amps per cell then ?
as ever, many thanks, I will look forward to your replies
