minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up26·6 months agoYes they do… including not holding a charge when the differential drops too far. The real wins are in battery-backed capacitors. Charge the caps fast, then let them keep the batteries topped up.
minus-squareSoylentBlake@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·6 months agoThat’s what I do being off-grid. I have my battery bank then a series of Supercaps to essentially act as an on/off ramp//drawbridge and temper quick demands. Kinda like an inverse soft starter so this is suuuuper interesting to me.
