Thanks jpm_sd!

So for the battery, we are actually using a modified version of an older Samsung battery (not the Note 7 haha).

That's something that we didn't want to reinvent. So we are working with a factory who has made these batteries in the past.

I didn't include more about the battery in this post. Is that something you'd enjoy reading more about?

Definitely want to hear about all aspects of battery sourcing.

Sweet! I have some blog posts planned about how we are designing a new charger and our 3D print iteration set up. So I'll think if we have anything else on the battery.

I also wrote up a basic, but goofy, post on "What is a battery": https://cobattery.com/blog/what-is-a-battery
