Write problem/project Goal
To develop a system to charge the batteries that are present in the engineering lab

My First Task
Get a better understanding of how the Thunder AC6 Dual Power Balance Charger/Discharger works.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
I looked at videos and red manuals on how the thunder AC6 Dual Power Operates

Week1 Narrative
''I went on youtube and looked at videos of the how to use the thunder AC6 Dual Power. After that I then connected a three cell 11.1 V 20C 2200mAh Li-polymer Battery to the charger. I selected the type of battery then balanced charge, then inputed the specific voltage, amperes, for the type of battery. I then Left it to charge. After one hour and forty five minutes the charger started to beep indicating the charging was completed. ''

My Second Task
Look at the different batteries on the lab and create a manual on the best practices for storing and charging them

Summary of actual work over second weekend
I created a battery guide page on the types of batteries in the lab

Week2 Narrative
I studied the operation of the different batteries present in the lab. I then created a battery guide with a link to a site that gives a good understanding of the principle of each type of battery and the best practices for charging/discharging and storage of the batteries I also uploaded a put up a table showing the comparison between the batteries.

My Third task
I am going to add alkaline battery to the battery guide, add lead acid and alkaline battery to the table of comparisons. Add more pictures of the batteries that are in the lab which were not included previously and visit the dock at Howard community college to find out how they dispose of the the batteries at the school and add a recycle and disposal section to the battery guide

Summary of actual work over third weekend
How is what you did different than what you planned?

Week3 Narrative
I visited the loading dock at Howard Community College and spoke to Robert Marietta The Manager of facility renovations,sustainability and safety about how the different types of batteries at HCC are disposed. I then included the information under each category in the battery guide. I also added alkaline batteries to the battery guide and lead acid and alkaline batteries to the table of comparisons which is to be complete. I also uploaded pictures of batteries that are in the lab the were not previously uploaded. I also added a recycle and disposal section to the battery guide which is to be completed.

My Fourth task
Complete battery guide

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
I worked on the battery guide

Week4 Narrative
I completed the table of comparisons in the battery guide which included lead acid and alkaline batteries. I added a link to the recycle and disposal practices of the different batteries in Howard County and which places recycle batteries to the Recycle and disposal section of the battery guide. I also added a description of each parameter in the table of comparisons under the table and added the charge each battery should be kept for storage to the battery guide.
