   * Li batteries are not vulnerable to [[electrical:12v:psoc|partial states of charge]] like Pb.  If anything they //prefer// sitting at PSoC.   * Li batteries are not vulnerable to [[electrical:12v:psoc|partial states of charge]] like Pb.  If anything they //prefer// sitting at PSoC.
   * flat voltage curve - stable voltage over much of its state of charge   * flat voltage curve - stable voltage over much of its state of charge
-  * very little Peukert effect (reduction of capacity at higher discharge rates)+  * very little reduction of capacity at higher discharge rates compared to lead((there is a non-Peukert mechanism that starts to attenuate apparent capacity at very high C rates))
