How can I increase the current a battery provides and still make it last for a while?

If a battery gives 1.35A max discharge, how can this be increased so that it provides 60A of discharge and also the battery needs to last and operate for atleast 30 seconds. Is there some sort of converter device that will allow this to work?How can I increase the current a battery provides and still make it last for a while?Use the battery to put the current through a transformer primary coil with lots of turns but low resistance. If the secondary has few turns and low resistance the result will be a high current but low voltage output from the transformer. The output will be over very rapidly once the primary has reached a steady state. You will need to make and break the primary circuit to maintain a discharge from the secondary coil. Addition of a capacitor tuned to the transformer's inductance will give a rapid fall in the current and induce a large discharge from the secondary. Look at engine ignition systems for a similar system.



The transformer turns ratio needs to be about 45:1



MartinHow can I increase the current a battery provides and still make it last for a while?1.35A max from a battery indicates that this is a small battery, and there is no way you can get 60 amps from it.



A large capacitor can, in theory, be used to store the current and discharge it at a higher rate, but you would need a huge one to provide 60 amps for 30 seconds.



if you use 2 volts voltage change as your rule,

C鈭哣 = i鈭唗

C = 60*30/2 = 900 Farads

this is much larger than can be achieved in real life.



Even a 1 Farad cap will only hold the charge for a small fraction of a second.
