In the last test with the Sodium 18650 cells, we want to follow THE feature we all know about: discharging the cell to 0.0V. I want to measure the capacity gain from 1.5V down to 0.0V and if it is worth discharging that low. Not that this is even possible with any inverters out there, but just for the sake of testing...
Unfortunately, the test failed because none of my testers could actually measure that low, but I accidentally found another interesting feature of these Sodium batteries. This questions though, if the whole 0V feature is nothing more than a marketing argument...
