I just got an Anker wireless charger for my phone, and it's pretty great! I remember having wireless charging on my Palm Pre a decade+ ago, and it was terrible, but this seems great - it charges more or less the same speed as wired (I think), doesn't make obnoxious noises/vibrations, and so far I haven't had it fail to connect when I plop my phone on the pad. I'm planning on getting a LiFePO battery pack* soon so that I can do work stuff in the woods/park/whatever and get out of the house a bit easier. It'll also get me a power source if I ever get an HF transceiver. LiFePO batteries are new to me, and they seem strictly better than lithium-ion batteries. It looks like they're pretty much just used for stuff with high draw - vehicles, ham radio, etc. why is that? cost maybe? but they don't seem any more expensive than getting the same thing in lithium-ion or wet cell (for vehicles) * but i will never get a life battery tech has really gone crazy in the past several years. renewables are starting to look like they'll eventually be better ideas than nuclear+renewable and that gives me hope for the world. i love that wireless charging is starting to take off. so let's talk about batteries and power supplies and stuff

i am the dude with a big lead-acid power setup but this is my favorite one. what's cool about it is that you can keep the 12v charger plugged into it forever and whatever you plug into the USB port is now on a teeny tiny UPS. it'll run off the wall wart normally but if the power goes out it instantly starts supplying from the batteries. also the 12v input is also a 12v output so yeah its good for radio poo poo

i use a cpap and am going camping in feb and my wife is glaring at me about ensuring i have a way to power it. there are a few options (inverter, 30amp to 10amp cable with rcd) but a battery pack that output 240v AC would be ideal. that lifepo looks cool but $usd200 seems kinda overkill

bolts have been spontaneously combusting (like 3 total) so as a precaution Chevy issued a recall which consists of a software update that reduces the available battery capacity

an EV manufacturer displaying an abundance of caution and helping people stay alive even though it might make Number go down? I don't believe it

A lot of them can run off 12V without any modification.

one of those would def work for me, but I'd still have to get an overnight sleep test done and gently caress doing that during a pandemic of course they might have a takehome deal I could use now that there's a pandemic. I should look into that

ok goons i got this idea to create a lipo forest fire. I have a power source I can constantly draw about ~5 watts out of. Any higher and the voltage collapses. I have constant loads (LED lights) that draw like 12 watts that I only want on at night. Another load is a gate opener that has high peak current but overall low usage. I was thinking, couldn't I slllloowly charge a battery during the day (@5W), then discharge at night? During discharge draw 5W from the charger, the remaining 7W from the battery. I can't find a programmable charger that allows me to twiddle max charge current (that isn't also $300) Only real requirement is battery chemistry that can handle winter north of the 45th (so like -20F). size weight do not matter. 12v is fine. the supply voltage is 48V but falls over to like 30V when loaded.
