 Stored energy: 12.8V 20Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Portable Rechargeable Battery(precharged)


 Source of energy: photoelectric effect -> electricity (using titanium of the body to transmit energy, and Venus's heat), and solar panels


 Rate at which the stored energy can be used: 80%, the other 20% is for emergency


 Self-discharge rate: 


 Volume: 1m x 1m x 3.3m = 3.3m^3


 Mass: ~931kg


 Operation temperature range:


 Using the energy released on atmospheric entry and descent: No


 Use of active materials (e.g., in the case of a battery, the anode, cathode, separator, electrolyte materials): Yes


 Whether a protective enclosure is required: Yes


 Whether the system can be operated in any orientation: Yes?


 Whether the system uses in situ resources from Venus (e.g., CO2): Yes, heat


 Whether the system can be recharged: Yes


 Whether the system can tolerate the forces and vibrations due to launch, reentry, descent, and landing: Yes?


 Whether the system can tolerate partial failure and still provide energy: Yes
