Knowing the ingress progression (IP) of a battery can help you choose the one that offers you the most protection. Ideally, all the batteries you so heavily rely on would be impenetrable to liquids and solids that could penetrate their barriers. Unfortunately, not all devices are impermeable to elements like water, dust, or sand.
Lead-acid batteries have a variety of downsides like inefficiency when used in the cold for extended periods of time, and heavy weight. Lithium-ion batteries provide all the same benefits and more that traditional batteries offer ice fishing enthusiasts without the significant downsides that often come with lead-acid batteries.
Adequate prepping allows people the chance to respond to increased power outages, disruptions in food supplies and lack of access to fresh water. As more people are becoming aware of the frequency of these problems, they are investing more in backup power sources.
Choosing the right portable power source is an important first step in making sure that your power needs can be met. Learn the pros and cons of both fossil fuel or gas generators and lithium battery power stations.
In 2017, Sub Sea Systems (SSS) introduced the Aquaticar, an underwater ride that won IAAPA’s Brass Ring Award for Best New Product.
