The community:
- seems to be very supportive of the FP ideals
- very disappointed with the sudden end of FP1 support (especially batteries)
- FP1 batteries seem to be the real problem to allow FP1’s to continue life (could be a good portion of 60000 still in use) (not junk usable FP1 phone due to no battery)
- willing to contribute cash, pre-ordering, crowd funding for batteries
- knowledge that there are batteries producing companies that could be approached if funding available
- the HB5N1H battery is close, works, needs proper testing, may need temp/mgmt
- multiple producers make this battery, could be approached with the FP1 specs (and likely make a usable battery with little development)
—see some informal testing coments in 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 Generic battery to replace FP1 battery (⚠️see first post for warning) @Stefan
Let’s try to prolong the FP1 lifetime and story and ideals
