Just posted a battery status logger for Eco-worthy Bluetooth LiFePo4 batteries. There was a good sale on these during the holiday. This program, for a Raspberry Pi or similar, will connect to the battery and log volts, amps, watts, SOC, and cell voltages to a CSV file. Can even trigger events on high or low SOC. #solar #battery #batteryhacks

Some news articles claiming this was a lithium battery bursting due to a software hack.

Nope. There's video. We know what a lithium battery fire looks like - white smoke and then a burst of flame. This was not that. This was an actual detonation. These pagers had a high explosive concealed in them.

The supply chain was physically compromised.

It's possible that solar and batteries are just better than wind. Solar is a chip technology while wind is mechanical, and solar can be put on otherwise unused space while wind is ugly and kills birds.
