Here’s an interesting thought for my fellow anons:
There’s a big push for lithium ion batteries, so much so that they’re building production plants while letting other manufacturing fail and fall apart. Lithium ion batteries don’t handle cold (need to be heated), don’t handle extreme heat, don’t handle flooding (boom), and have a charging control circuit that is susceptible to interference/EMP.
With all these shortcomings, why are they putting them in everything from flashlights to house solar systems? All those people thinking they will have power during an emergency are just as screwed as everyone else if the switch is flipped on the charging control circuit.
Flooded lead batteries for the win.
