You started out buying a 4 pack of lithium cells after hearing a friend talk about his powerwall project. You figured you'd mess around a bit to see what all the intrigue was about. It didn't seem like a problem. You thought you could control it. Now you're not sure, but you think you may have a lithiumaddiction.
If you have experienced any of these signs, seek help:
You used to buy a few cells at a time, but now your purchases measure in kilowatt hours.
What started out as hitting a few cells on the charger each weekend has turned into a daily habit.
Your collection of chargers rivals your cousin's bong collection.
When at work you have intrusive thoughts wondering if the cells on the charger have cycled, and you're praying they have a high mAh rating.
Your friends have started avoiding you because you can't go 5 minutes without bringing up the topic of an 18650.
You used to just buy 18650's, but you've branched out to lipos, liFePo4,...pretty much anything you can get your hands on.
Your wife is concerned about your spending habit, so you've started making secret purchases on your credit card and asking for shipments to be in unmarked boxes.
You've said to yourself, "Just one more kilowatt hour, then I'll quit."
