I found the article interesting but I don't think "debug" is the right word here. I was thinking the article would be about debugging a software or electronics bug that causes my laptop or car battery to drain too fast.

Maybe it should have been titled, "How to model the right battery choice for your application" or "Understanding trade-offs in battery design".

That's a fair point. I guess I used it a bit too freely but I have the habit of introducing programming terms into everyday life. It's trying to understand why something is suboptimal
I guess you could say your original title was a leaky abstraction.
haha - indeed
By the way if I was to edit the title I would put "design" at the end but I can't find how to do this? Not a very regular poster I have to admit
HN prefers the original title[0], since this seems to be a submission of your work, you could edit the repo to append " design" to the title, and then email the mods to get the title updated. (You can only edit the submission title in the first 2 hours).

Thanks for the advice, I have followed it
Since you’re at it, you misspelled “battery” when explaining the BaMM acronym (“BaMM stands for Batery Mathematical Modelling”)
Every blog should be able to have pull requests eh
Amazing thanks, my vscode spell checker missed that because of the *Ba*
OK, we've tacked 'design' on the end of the title above.
Thankyou
