1/ A few unsorted impressions from the huge #TheSmarterE exhibition in Munich, a combination of several energy trade fairs including photovoltaics (#Intersolar), energy storage (ees) and charging infrastructure (#Power2Drive) in a little
(it was indeed "a crowded space")

It has taken me about 12 minutes to cool down and 18650 battery which was heating up that it was almost too warm to the touch. The battery was in the charger which clearly doesn't properly communicate with the BMS, creating a fairly dangerous situation
The battery in someone else's hand could have spontaneously combusted into flames igniting the charger and then the wood of the table it was standing on.
I have a habit of standing up, way in the depths of the night, either because I want to go training on my race machines, or because I want to physically feel how warm the batteries are that I'm charging.
Today I'm very glad that I routinely do this, because the BMS failed, a temperature sensor is obviously absent in the charger, and the chemicals would have potentially created a runaway situation because the battery was running this hot for at least a couple of hours!
The 18650 cell delivers the energy that is needed just fine it just cannot charge to 100% anymore
Of course I have marked the cell, so I can now manually remove it from the charger
Dropped my laptop from the couch and of course it landed on the charger and bent the connector.
The computer is OK, but the charger connector is broken. I have a low power USB-C charger that works sometimes, so I have to charge the computer at night or leave it on the table when I am charging it. Ordered a new one.

@empathicqubit I'm just flabberghasted because I literally even use it with an original #Fairphone - #Charger...
Would be kinda shit, but another argument for me to want to #DIY my next #Smartphone with like 21700-sized #LiFePO4 cells for #repairability beyond 1st party support...
Ein Dual-Port 45W #Charger (USB-C & USB-A) für Smartphone & kleine Powerbank. 
Für die große #Powerbank reicht ein älteres 2.4A Netzteil für’s Nachtanken über Nacht.
Wenn es eh die ganze Nacht an der #Steckdose hängt, muss es nur innerhalb 10h fertig geladen sein. Und die Powerbank kann ja eh nur 2A.

Discovered today that the #Charger #Wildcat #Safety car in #Gran #Turismo 7 goes like a wild cat indeed. #playstation4 Yes, yes, I'll get back to #LastofUs2 soon.
...und noch einer für die E-Auto-Benutzer: Hat jemand einen Go-E Charger Gemini Flex? Scheint mir die beste Lösung zu sein, wenn man schon ne CEE-Dose in der Garage hat und keinen unseriösen No-Name-Kram haben will. #Elektroauto #Wallbox #Charger

So, die #Wallbox #Tinkerforge #Warp3 #Charger pro wäre da.
Der Termin mit dem #Elektriker zur Montage / Anschluss steht auch schon.
Fehlt noch das #Elektroauto. Das hole ich Anfang September ab - und darf dann gleich 470 km fahren.
Sprich, ich brauche einen #Supercharger am Abholort und unterwegs.
Welche #Ladeanbieter / #Ladekarten sollte ich mir dafür vorab holen?

I'm looking to install a fixed #EV #charger and I'm wondering what are good options to have it consume excess production from the #PV only. Or at least predominantly. There's quite a few trees around me, the #photovoltaic panels output is rather spiky.
So far I've been just plugging the car when it's sunny but letting it charge at full speed (11 kW).
Let's go fediverse do (y)our magic: Guest in downtowm #bern #switzerland without a #samsung #galaxy #watch #charger has only 3% #battery power #left and they don't know how much they slept without the measurement.
Could you lent the necesarry charger or another #sleep #tracking #device till #noon on #monday

Genuine #Apple 5w #USB #charger, just lying in the middle of the road, prongs up, so I also saved someone from a tyre replacement

Experimental wireless EV charger is just as fast as a superfast wired plug, scientists say

All I want is a #powerbank #charger that powers my computer and charges itself to 100% at the *same time*. Am I being unreasonable? The #Anker 140W does not do this.... or a I too dumb to know how to use it...?
