"World’s largest 1 MW/100 MWh sand battery commissioned in Finland"
Wisconsin’s first large-scale, solar-powered battery storage project is operational and can power more than 130,000 homes for up to four hours. #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #renewables #renewableenergy #battery #solar #wisconsin

The "durability" for batteries is something like the expiration date for dry food.
After 10 years the battery falls down to 80-90% capacity but still works. After next 10 years it is 64-81% (after 20 years). That are worst case 500 km * 0.64 = 320 km still, 405 km best case. That is enough for the most use cases.
Wien CATL brings the 1,500 km battery, we don't longer care about range/capacity.
Partially some European countries had days with 100% decentralized renewable energy.
Sanli Faez: Building a FAIR Battery
@TheStefan @jmaris my old #smartphone (samsung s7 bought second hand 7 years ago) is still working but the #battery getting tired... I slowly consider either to replace the battery or to buy a new phone. #Fairphone is one of the options, but the problem is #pictures' quality that seem to be bad and the size (too big)... other option: a refurbished phone by @ekimia, but have to check for size and quality of pictures of the models they provide:

Thee days ago I posted the ALARM that forest destruction in Canada had reached 1,000,000 hectares burned, two days before the START of the Fire Season.
Three day ago. 1 million hectares of flame.
Today the destruction reached 1 point 8 million. All but doubling in three days.
One Million Eight Hundred Thousand Hectares. Day 2 of 2025 "Fire Season"
Climate chaos is carbon fuels.
Canada MUST Build rhe New Energy at FULL SPEED. JOBS!! Carbon Fuel ENDED

Fuck Marion council!
"The City of Marion voted eight to three on Tuesday night in favour..."
"The vote followed a public consultation period in which 95 per cent of respondents — made up of 948 survey submissions plus six written responses — did not support the proposal."
For a few months now, one of our greenworks batteries never charged properly. Finally this week it showed as dead in the charger. We managed to “jump start” the battery and it was recognized again in the charger, but still wasn’t charging properly. Today while preparing to top up each cell one at a time, I discovered a bad solder connection. Fixed that and success! Battery now properly charging. Shoddy workmanship!

General Motors announced potentially groundbreaking new battery tech that not only has 30 percent more energy density at the existing production cost for cells but also would circumvent China's stranglehold on intellectual property for EV batteries. #battery #ElectricVehicles #climate #ClimateChange #environment #ev

Oh, yeah. See above for a little more context, but the new battery arrived two days ago. I installed it immediately. The old battery was showing 7V or so. 
That battery was 12V. 7V is the sign of a very dead battery.
I tested the new battery yesterday. It worked! 
Scientists say they've created a battery that can stretch and bend without losing power. The discovery paves the way for wearable technology, smart medical devices, and robots with human-like movements. @LiveScience reports:

A primer on Maximum Power Point Tracking solar charge controllers. This device goes between the solar panel and the battery and — not to put too fine a point on it — controls the charging of the battery to optimize power transfer from the solar panel (and, hopefully, maximize battery life I would assume).
I saw one mentioned in a YouTube video, likely sponsored, but if you have one that you are happy with, feel free to recommend.

We had a few short power outages here yesterday. It made me realize that I need a new battery for my UPS.
