Stephen CollinsOur PV+battery has been up about little over a week now. Today was hot and sunny; the first day of a 4-day heatwave and topped out at 31C while staying pretty humid.We had AC on in a couple of rooms most of the day, using 26kWh of energy for all activity. The PV array produced nearly 44kWh of energy. We consumed 16kWh from the battery. At about 4:00pm, the battery was full.Presently, the battery is discharging as we consume electricity from it, and it exports to the grid. Over the day, and across two price spikes we've exported 23kWh of energy. It's clearly not going to be any less in coming days.On less sunny and hot days, it looks like we'll generate around 2x our consumption. On hot days like this, it will be even more (Yes, it's going to take a handful of years to recover the outlay, but at this rate, we’ll both completely offset the cost of electricity supply to our house as well as earn enough FiT to offset a significant proportion of electricity supply for our guest cottages.In NSW (and I believe other states), there are significant state government rebates on batteries alongside federal rebates on PVs. If you have the chance to invest in solar+battery, now is as good a time as any.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solar</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bushlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bushlife</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/pv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pv</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#battery</a>

NLnetThe Flow Battery Research Collective (FBRC) are building an open source battery. Technology writer Koen Vervloesem did a nice write-up about their <a href="https://social.nlnet.nl/tags/fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSDEM</a> talk in the Energy devroom. FBRC works on redox flow batteries which are better suited for long-term, stationary storage and less hazardous than Li-ion batteries. FBRC plan to democratize flow battery technology by developing an open source flow battery, starting with a development kit.<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/1011730/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lwn.net/Articles/1011730/</a><a href="https://social.nlnet.nl/tags/oshw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSHW</a> <a href="https://social.nlnet.nl/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#battery</a> <a href="https://social.nlnet.nl/tags/ngi0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NGI0</a>

albhi fedi, I have a late 2013 macbook pro that killed three batteries dead within a year or so - as in, it doesn't even see the battery at all and is terribly slow to use. it was "fine" with the first dead battery - it reported that the battery's still there and it wasn't laggy. with the two subsequent replacements, it acts as if the battery isn't even there and it's super slow. I've tried resetting the smc, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.the original battery dying wasn't that weird, but the replacement dying within a month or so was deemed weird by the place that repaired it and its replacement dying as well was troubling to us too, but the place shut down and I kind of pretended for a long time that I don't need a personal computer, but that's a lie.is there anyone out there who ran into a similar problem? or is knowledgeable enough to tell me what the issue is, so I can negotiate better with the next place I'll take it? or is there nothing I can do at this moment? it's the first laptop that (physically) endured my various mishaps with it and I'm curious as to what could've caused this battery-killing spree.<a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/macbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macbook</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apple</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laptop</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#battery</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/isuckattags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#isuckattags</a>

Francesco P Lovergine :debian:Last week, I managed to trigger a very annoying firmware bug in my Lenovo Carbon X1 5th-gen laptop, which caused it to stop charging or being powered by the line via USB-C. This is the first time this has happened in the last seven years. I solved it by disabling the battery via the BIOS with the residual charge. Then all started to work again. This appears to be a common and so-bad issue of multiple generations of Thinkpads.

French manufacturer Pi-Pop breaks from traditional electric bike design by using a power source you never need to recharge."The eponymous Pi-Pop electric bicycle, now in the third generation, gets riding power assistance from a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/supercapacitor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#supercapacitor</a> that charges while you ride. Like most electric cars, e-bikes with geared or direct drive hubs can regain energy on the go from regeneration while braking. An electric motor reverses energy flow during regeneration, directing the flow back into a battery."With Pi-Pop e-bikes, which do not have batteries, regeneration is the only way the onboard supercapacitor gains energy. According to the company, a rider pedaling a Pi-Pop e-bike on flat ground regenerates moderate energy by using a small portion of the rider’s pedaling power to recharge the supercapacitor. Riding the bike downhill when the rider doesn’t need to pedal as hard to maintain speed regenerates more energy than flat ground travel. Applying the Pi-Pop’s brakes restores the greatest energy to the supercapacitor."Supercapacitors have several advantages over batteries, primarily charging and discharging speeds and life span. Supercapacitors can store and release energy ten times faster than batteries. Rechargeable batteries have an expected cycle life of 500 to 10,000 charges, but a supercapacitor can be recharged millions of times. Batteries can deliver power over a more extended period between recharging. Still, the superior speed with which a supercapacitor recharges through regeneration can eliminate the need to plug into a power supply. Reliability of the Pi-Pop"With the Pi-Pop’s supercapacitor energy regeneration system, there’s no question of range per charge because the e-bike recharges when you’re pedaling or braking. You’ll only use more energy than you regenerate when pedaling uphill."The Pi-Pop conforms to the European standard for Level I e-bikes, which means the maximum speed is limited to 25 KMPH (15.5 MPH) with power-assisted pedaling only. The Pi-Pop has no twist or thumb throttle, so you’ll need to pedal for power assistance. The bike’s Aikema electric motor and regenerator are rated at 250 watts and 45 Newton meters of torque. That may not seem like much power, but it’s appropriate given the bike’s roughly 48-pound weight and low-by-U.S.-standards top speed."You can shift through seven gears with a Shimano RevoShift shifter and a Shimano Tourney derailleur, all brand-name parts. The adjustable Zoom front fork has up to 45mm travel, which is certainly enough for a bike that won’t be used as an electric mountain bike and rock jumper. The Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 180mm disc rotors are more than adequate."The Pi-Pop bike is available in one size with a step-through aluminum frame in white with green accents. There are no other frame sizes, styles, or color choices. Fenders, mudflaps, a kickstand, a headlamp, and a rear rack are all standard."If an e-bike that never needs recharging is appealing, you can only buy the Pi-Pop at the company factory on the banks of the Loire River in Olivet, France. The price is 2,450 euros or about $2,600 U.S."<a href="https://www.themanual.com/outdoors/pi-pop-e-bike-no-battery/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.themanual.com/outdoors/pi-pop-e-bike-no-battery/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bicycles</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BikePower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikePower</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoLithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoLithiumMining</a> No <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteries</a>
