The startup will manufacture a battery charger which will work with most rechargeable batteries of varying size and shape independent of the battery chemistry.

Oh, really?

And how exactly are you planning on doing that?!

Battery Charger...
Cornell University...
The powerbank battery has a capacity of 1500 mAh and can juice up in about 5 mins!!!

Engineer to MBA ratio FAIL. If there's anything I've ever seen as concrete is that engineering driven startups are the most likely to succeed and MBA driven are most likely to fail.

How many MBAs does it take to change a light bulb? None, they come up with the most contrived way of doing it, get VC funding for their new turn-a-matic light bulb extractor on a stick, hire a series of engineers who laugh their way to the bank, end up blowing the entire budget on apologising on kickstarter for spending the entire VC capital on Herman Miller chairs and cocaine and finally end up sleeping on someone's sofa because they bankrupted themselves.

If you want evidence of this, go and see how many batches of Herman Miller Aeron chairs are on eBay :)

•   You are an experienced electronics engineer who is familiar with power supply, DC to DC converter, Op Amps, familiar with integrated chips like LM2904 and LM317.

You're planning to use a LM317 linear regulator from The Ark in a high current battery charger ?
Should be interesting to see the heat/smoke output from that.

So the MBA has identified the technology and components to be used...
Perhaps they can dispense with the EE, and simply get a PCB designer...?

My thought exactly.
Do you realise that charging touchy exothermic battery technology like LiIon outside the very strict conditions is dangerous? Right?

I have already developed a powerbank battery that will use this smart charger. The powerbank battery has a capacity of 1500 mAh and can juice up in about 5 mins!!!

So if this your own battery chemistry?
What exactly is the technology innovation in your "powerbank" battery?

1500mAh in 5 min = 1.5A x 12 = 18A charge rate (12C)

5 mins charge @7.5 WH = 90 watts/min.

WTF is a watt/min?

Hey, at least it's not kWh per hour.


Average charge rate has to be 90 watts per minute.

90 watts per minute makes no sense. Watt is power, you need to use a unit of energy, like joules, Wh, kWh, kilocalories.

What field is your engineering degree in and from what university? If it's an electronic engineering degree I would be asking for a refund.

He claims to be from Cornell.  I've been to Cornell before, and I know a handful of people in the graduate EE department there, they're not idiots.  If any one of them ever said "watts per minute" in this context, they'd get smacked in the face.  If not by me, then by any of the students or faculty in the room.

1/60th of a joule?
1/60th of a joule per second squared.  It's an energy acceleration, and makes no sense in this context.

It would be a rate at which a power level is changing. Not a stupid unit, but not the correct one in the current context.

You're right, it could make sense, but not in this context.  I could chalk it up to a typo, but then he wrote the exact same thing again.  Anybody who does not know that a watt is already an energy rate should not be going anywhere near power system design.

ok, I got it...
MBA = master of battery analysis

the charge rate will require battery leads the thickness of your pinky finger +/ -  /sense combined.

Good Luck.

He's reading this and now has "room temperature superconductors" on the spec sheet.
