Hi!
What I need to do is to couple my device (a table-top optical fiber-processing tool) with a back-up battery that should be enough for a full shift operation (8hrs). This makes it about 3,000-4,000 mAh @ 12V. A regulated 12V.
So the batteries should be being charged while device is operating from an AC/DC tabletop power supply (your typical 1-2A 12V adapter) and should the power plug be removed, the battery pack should take over.
Due to the device being not very large, the battery pack should also not be large/heavy, so I am looking at some variety of LiON cells.
This is where my expertise is lacking. LiON batteries for me is murky thing with regulations, shipping restriction, controllers etc etc.
So I am looking for some advice from those who have been through it.
From recommending the type of LiON, method of controlling it, charging it, holding it etc.
PS. The battery pack should go inside the device and not be an external pack with a battery charger bought from Amazon. (in essence, a new mechanically and electronically re-designed device will result).
