“Steeds meer reuzebatterijen aan het [Nederlandse] stroomnet…

De branche verwacht dat de capaciteit van batterijen dit jaar verdubbelt tot zo'n twee gigawattuur…

"Eigenlijk staan we nog best aan het begin"“

"Clean tech doesn't work" according to MAGA, but don't tell that to Texas, who just set 17 records in power generation this summer thanks to solar and batteries

Great to see utility thinking moving forward on distribution and storage

“Under its Capacity*Connect proposal, Xcel will work with Sparkfund to deploy batteries ranging from 1-3 MW at “strategic locations” on its grid by 2028, paying local businesses, commercial or industrial sites, or nonprofit organizations to host the batteries.”

So, you've been entrusting your precious to bargain-bin , and now you're shocked (pun intended) they're ticking time bombs? 😱🔋 Let's all spend the next decade pretending a glorified infographic is groundbreaking science. 🚀

I finally ordered a new digital camera.

I ordered the Kodak PixPro FZ45. It's a 16 megapixel "point-and-shoot" digital camera with 4x optical zoom and the ability to record 1080p video at 30 fps. The Kodak brand is used under license, Kodak did not manufacture it.

A requirement for any new digital camera I would purchase, the PixPro FZ45 uses AA #batteries, so my camera life cycle isn't dictated by some proprietary #battery. I'm fine with #NIMH rechargeable AAs.

Hold up! Energizer-branded laptops are on the horizon, packing a whopping 192Wh battery. Perfect for going off-grid, but good luck getting that through TSA without a stern talking-to. 🔋✈️

Is this the future of portable power, or a security nightmare waiting to happen?

Stanford University published a study recently finding that #EV #batteries may see 40% more lifespan than thought.

In a nutshell, the growth of #dendrites on the electrodes is the nail in the coffin for #lithium batteries. Historic testing was to do constant discharge/recharge cycles. But that's not how cars work. Acceleration and regen braking cause huge surges. Turns out, these surges are good and fry the dendrites, making the #battery healthier.

So EV owners, punch it and slam the brakes time to time! (but not with traffic around!!).

I hate it when I know that I've forgotten to do something important. Suddenly, I'm jolted from sleep in a moment of extreme focusedness . . . I need to recharge the battery of my portable jump starter. I should schedule the event in my calendar.

This is a gentle reminder to test the batteries in your smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, emergency flashlights and radios. Also, check emergency water, fuel, and food supplies, first aid kits and replenish, as necessary.

Is this the *third* data center fire in #SouthKorea this week?

Random thoughts: 1) Maybe "these documents are exclusively on the cloud" is a lousy policy without #cloud backups, if not period. 2) #Batteries may not be as safe as we think. 3) Is it possible these fires aren't just negligence?

Electroflow just dropped a bomb: 40% cheaper LFP battery material for EVs! Looks like the global battery race just got a new contender, and it's inspired by the batteries themselves. Talk about meta-engineering! Will this revolutionize EV production or just add another layer to supply chain bingo?
