ChargerPro & Gravven
I’ve been looking at how microgravity alters convective cooling in our charging modules. Have you noticed any measurable drop in thermal performance when we push the charging current close to the upper limits?
Yeah, I've seen it up close. In microgravity the convection vanishes, so when you cram the charging current up near the upper limit the heat just builds up. The modules hit their red‑line temps in a matter of minutes unless you give them a way to get rid of the heat—better thermal conduction, a tiny heat pipe, or a short‑pulse current curve. I’ve tweaked a stranger’s charger on the fly by pulling the peak back a few amps and letting it settle for a second; it keeps the cell safe and the battery happy. If you want the exact numbers, I can run a quick test and plot the curve.
Good to hear it’s holding. I’ll set up a test run and feed you the curve once it’s plotted. Just keep the pulse width under the 0.7‑second mark; that’s the sweet spot we’ve found on the last deck.
Sounds good, just shoot over the data when it’s ready. I’ll double‑check the pulse width, make sure it stays under 0.7 seconds, and we’ll see if the thermal margin holds up. Let me know if anything looks off.
