  1. Sold Separately

    I think that was a lousy
    Thing you did
    Gift wrapping two batteries
    With a note, “Toy not included”

  2. 2/2 #Batteries and #AdvancedEnergyTechnologies can be. We are already advancing in these areas enough on our own to solve some very pressing problems(if not for constant obstruction via greed and politics). Many of the leaps within our reach have had and will have zero dependency on #AI. So distance between generations of new technology is also increasing.What kind of infrastructure do we build to support those futures ? It’s the same one we need to understand and grow as worthy partners overall

  10. I scored two brand new 5kWh batteries, but I need to strip the built in proprietary electronics for my own, so I can tie it into all the rest of the house batteries. So these shiny new BMS with built in active balancing will do the trick! #solar #batteries #renewables

  18. Midnight power raid by big batteries in regulator’s crosshairs
    By Daniel Mercer

    Batteries have been hailed as an antidote to price pain but strange charging behaviour in WA has pushed the market higher. Now the regulator is preparing to intervene.

  24. I woke up happy to see that my Vapcell F60's are still close to their advertised capacity which is 6000 mAh, 4 months after I bought and used it solely for my XTAR PB2SL V2. It's had some cycles but I don't use it daily.

    For those who don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, the PB2SL V2 is that "DIY powerbank" where you put your own 18650 to 21700 sized Li-ion batteries to be used as the cells for the powerbank.

    Honestly way better than buying pricy powerbanks every 5 years when you can just buy 2x 21700 li-ion battery and go for the highest capacity or most reliable available, but you're gonna be limited to about 12 - 13 Ah if you go for capacity. Also the PB2SL V2 can only output 22.5 W max on USB-C.

    The cap test took about 19 hours cos the XTAR VX4 can only discharge the battery at 300 mA so yeah.

  25. Europe’s new renewable-energy champion is a surprise.

    Europe likes to think of itself as a champion of renewable energy. In fact the rate of solar-power installation on the continent is plateauing. In 2025 the European Union added 67.2 gigawatts (GW) of new generating capacity, scarcely more than in the previous year.

    Romania, however, is leading the EU in combining solar power and batteries.

  28. Something I wanted to put out that I've been forgetting. I ran into this problem again today so I remembered.

    If you're a #Costco shopper and buy their bulk packs of house-brand ( #Kirkland ) AAA or AA cells/batteries, you may want to check any devices you've got them in.

    I found that some I bought a few years ago have a really bad leak failure rate - something like half the AAAs in a pack, and maybe a third of a pack of AAs - all leaked after being used in low-drain devices like remote controls after just a year or two. It's not a case of them leaking after they're discharged or when they get too old - the terminal voltage on them is just fine, and their best-before date is still years from now -- there's just a manufacturing defect.

    The AAAs in particular tend to spit out a lot of electrolyte from the negative terminal end, so it gets all over the spring contact and corrodes it. If you leave it long enough, you may find the remote stops working or becomes intermittent even with new batteries in it. You need to clean off the corrosion and possibly put a layer of solder on it to get a good contact again.

    The bad AAAs I have are labelled "Best Installed by March 2030" and have what looks like a lot code of "1015673" on them. They're from the era when they had a gold and blue colour scheme, at least in Canada.

    Anyway: open up remotes and other long-lived things and see if they're leaking.

  29. Tax changes in China that will drive the next stage of EV adoption will more than likely mean electric bike battery prices are going to rise - first by 2, then 4%.

    China's bet on sodium and solid state is only increasing and if they crack the energy density puzzle, as you expect they will, they'll again be light years ahead on one of the world's most important technologies.

  30. The battery is often the most expensive part of an electric bike so DIY construction here has been surprisingly prominent, even before the era of cheap and cheerful food courier demand for cut-price mobility solutions.

    But with much of the world's production now machine-automated, I sought an expert to reveal why doing this at home is often a bad idea.

  31. Batteries charge ahead as data centres fuel gas turbine costs: CSIRO
    By Daniel Mercer and Tim Leslie

    Falling battery costs and a data centre-fuelled dash for gas have overturned decades of accepted wisdom: gas is no longer the cheapest way to meet peak power demand.

  32. EU battery rules push manufacturers to strengthen European operations

    EVE Energy said it is expanding compliance, localized manufacturing and regional services in Europe as the EU Battery Regulation becomes a more important market-access requirement.

  35. So, here are a few #SolarPunkSunday topics that I plan on tackling in the near-future:

    - #Rainbarrels, #Cisterns, #Graywater use and systems
    - #ToyLibraries (in the US and elsewhere)
    - #SolarPanels and #Farming
    - How to make #Lime and #LimeMortar from scratch
    - Dealing with #Batteries and #HazardousWaste while #SpringCleaning
    - Seasoning #CastIron pans.

    I would love to hear suggestions for future SPS topics! Feel free to chime in!
