Rechargeable Batteries

[WiltonRanch]

Watched an Ave Boltr video on YouTube where he snipped some lithium batteries in half out in the snow. They combusted immediately. Neighbours lost a shop from tool battery on the charger

Anyone else have an iPhone that get hot? Wondering about mine.

Good story about that. Years ago Telus sent me a new IPhone 8. Had it sitting on a blanket in the sleeper of my grain truck. Was driving down the road and smelled like a brake or clutch disc hanging up. Got out and inspected everything but was all fine. Got back in cab to see phone smoking away. Got SIM card out before it melted too. It was plugged in to charge at the time so probably the battery was defective to start with.

Yup several times

So consider how many battery issues failures and fires you are aware of in phones and cordless tools, then consider that there are thousands of times more somewhat similar battery cells in an electric vehicle. Each of which has a similar probability of having fires or failing.
That multiply that again to power a tractor or highway truck etc.

Imagine a $1000000 tractor spontaneously combusting because of shitty batteries. The solid state battery is great but looks to be 10 years away like hydrogen fuel cells and cold fusion.

Talking about someone who is overheating and short circuited… VP Kamala Harris had a mental meltdown Friday…. Or, Not when she said….!!!


Was this a mistake or…???!!!

The White House apparently corrected her statement in a transcript after…


Strange what is actually is some peoples minds when they dwell on their true feelings… long enough…

Blessings and Prayers

Lying evil WITCH! of course she meant it, thinking it all along....TOO many peasants.

WEF...reduce us by 75%, such nice guys.

So there is no fire risk in gasoline and diesel vehicles? 100 litres of gasoline ignites in a crash or an electrical fire never happens in ICE vehicles? LOL

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are already here with Toyotas Mirai and in some city buses.

Supply and infrastructure for hydrogen is limited but the technology is already available.

I wonder what the true numbers are behind making rechargeable batteries

The truth coming out on solar panels…

Thirteen billion just to coax someone to start. For starters.

Unless you’re driving a ford pinto explosions from vehicle crashes are quite rare. Fire departments have had to take further training to handle an electric car fire as the heat intensity from a lithium battery fire can make it almost impossible to put out. The best course is to let the battery burn and keep the surroundings safe. Case where and this is not solely related to ev fires but also some large scale industrial plant chemical fires. You can spray fire retardant foam and think you have the fire out and even after waiting what is thought to be an appropriate time before reapproaching find that it reignites under the foam when oxygen gets at it. It’s like a manure fire or muskeg fire which can smoulder indefinitely and relight.

Hydrogen is probably one of the best means of storing excess renewable electricity, and is best suited for stationary purposes. Energy density of hydrogen does not lend itself particularly well to motive transportation of anything at this particular time. Not saying blending it with lng or even in ice engines with other fuels holds some promise but it is not practical yet.

I’ve said this before I am not against any of this stuff. However if it isn’t practical quite yet and if it causes undue pain and suffering cause it isn’t there yet I have a problem. Some of the boosters for a complete transition away from fossil fuels reminded me of the stoners who pushed for legalizing weed because of the uses for hemp to replace every building material. Definitely some merit but highly improbable and impractical as is evidenced by the folks repeatedly stiffed by hemp processors.
