@Lydie yes #JKBMS IF MONITORED regularly (can only do #bluetooth with app from enjpower.com/ #enjpower) can report bad cells as going way too high way to fast (4.3V???) #datasheed #eve #LiFePo4 battery-germany.de/wp-content/ ultimate-solar.com/wp-content/ this guy and others on #youtube keep promoting #eve #lifepo4 youtube.com/@Akkudoktor/videos

this is what a bad cell looks like vendor refuses #warranty :( voltage too fast too low or too high (#BMS stops discharging or charging to prevent #BatteryFIRE)

"The Vistra fire in Moss Landing caught everyone by surprise. What we can learn from it?โ€ โ€”David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyWeekly cover story

"On Feb. 13, 2022, a similar incident occurred at Vistraโ€™s Moss 100 facility, and this time, both #Vistra facilities were taken offline.

"Meanwhile, PG&Eโ€™s 182.5-megawatt Elkhorn facility came online in April 2022. Unlike both Vistra facilities, the Elkhornโ€™s batteries were not in buildings โ€“ they were in an array of 256 Tesla Megapacks on 33 concrete slabs.

In the early morning of Sept. 20 of that year, just over five months later, a fire broke out in one of #Tesla Megapacks at the facility, prompting the closure of Highway 1 and a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. Though the fire only burned for six hours, the orders remained in effect until just before 7pm due to the risk of toxic smoke inhalation.โ€

March 5 update from District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire.

โ€œCurrent monitoring focuses on hydrogen fluoride and particulate matter, but traditional air quality indexes measure ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particle pollution โ€”not heavy metals. However, when batteries burn, it is reasonable to assume that small heavy metal particles are released into the air.โ€

The upshot is, like children, donโ€™t leave lithium battery powered devices in cars in the sun. Once the heat rises outside their operating range, then the chance of failure increases.

โ€œAfter the fire, his lab tested the soil in a 2-mile radius of the plant, which is near the Elkhorn Slough estuary. After taking multiple measurements from about 100 locations, his lab observed a hundreds-fold rise in the concentration of the three toxic heavy metals along the top layer of the soilโ€ฆ.Aielloโ€™s team is also turning to assess the impact of their findings on the Elkhorn Slough, which he said is the second-largest estuary in California and one of the most diverse and essential ecosystems for hundreds of fish and bird species. It acts as a carbon sink and buffer for sea level rise.โ€

KSBW: Scientists find heavy metal spike in Moss Landing soil post-battery facility fire ksbw.com/article/heavy-metal-m #batteryfire #MossLanding

Remember that in ? Turns out it released a bunch of heavy metals that fell to the ground within several miles of the plant and contaminated the ecosystem.

So that's not great.

We encourage a thorough read of newsletter released this eve by District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire. us21.campaign-archive.com/?u=b

"When I took office two years ago, I accepted several tours of the #Vistra facility, including a tour inside the building that burned. The facility and its safety systems appeared impressive. I was personally given the guarantee that a fire similar to the one that occurred in 2022 at the neighboring PG&E / #Tesla operation could not happen at Vistra. We know that is not true. This disaster is worse.

"There has been some great #news reporting on this story, but there have also been some errors. There is a great deal of #misinformation being spread. That is because there are a lot of unknowns. I would urge everyone to doublecheck every source."

We should stop using li-ion batteries for grid energy storage. Hydrogen is a better and more scalable option.

The problem is that brand new BEVs are catching on fire. This is a huge problem. People are trying to deflect this fact by comparing new BEVs to very old ICE cars. That is an apples-to-oranges comparison.

In all likelihood, BEV fires are about as common as similarly old ICE car fires.

Letโ€™s not delude ourselves. There is no possibility of large trucks switching to batteries. Even if they somehow caught on, they will be banned shortly thereafter due to the fire risk. People who want green heavy transportation must look at other options.

There used to be a joke about how #SolarFarms were immune to fires and explosions (as opposed to #NuclearPowerPlants). But a quick search revealed that those do happen -- but the cause is usually the #LithiumIon batteries, not the solar panels!

#SolarFarm fire in Upstate New York sends possible #toxic smoke billowing into surrounding community

July 27, 2023 / 10:52 PM EDT / CBS News

New York - "Gov. Kathy Hochul issued an advisory Thursday night due to potentially toxic smoke billowing from a #BatteryFire at a solar farm burning near the Canadian border."
