WHO FEELS MY PAIN??? LET ME HEAR YOU!!!! 🤣🤣

#FunFactFriday: With the need for batteries growing, it's vital we look for ways to enhance their survivability, and self-healing is an excellent step forward! While it's lithium batteries for now, do you think other batteries can be made to self-heal? News Source: techxplore.com/news/2025-04-li

Good morning. 🍂🍃🍂

Ben is barking—it’s almost mealtime. Meanwhile, Charlie is staring at me with his tail wagging enthusiastically. I could feed them early, but rules are rules. I’ve only been awake for about 20 minutes, and as usual, I’m trying to put my thoughts into writing. After only 20 minutes of being awake, my mind feels pretty empty. Lately, I’ve been considering buying a second EGO 5Ah battery. There’s the BA2800 and the BA2800T—the latter costs about $100 more than the former. Essentially, the choice boils down to spending $200 or $300, but there must be more to it than just the price. It’s intriguing how much these batteries cost…

Guess who benefits most from this initiative & who misses out? Important analysis from Gavin Dufty.

Households without solar can dramatically reduce their power bills by switching to a wholesale provider & buying at very low or sometimes negative prices when there is a surplus of renewables in the grid. We did this for a year before we installed solar & it reduced our electricity bill by half. I concluded then that solar works at household level only when it’s supported by a battery.

Rooftop #solar plus community #batteries is what we need more of. Until then, if you can shift most of your usage away from peak times a #wholesale provider is the way to go.

I've just discovered Victoria has a community battery grant scheme, applications now closed, building should start soonish. Hopefully it will benefit everyone because it will mean less need for generating plant.
I don't care about the politics, I just want firmed renewables.
