Batteries come with their own BMS that limits the charging rate to safe levels no matter the charger you plug them into.

The danger is more about fast charging too often as that shortens the battery life.

A PhD is a marathon. You go from failure to failure until you eventually succeed.

The trick is to do it on a topic you are enthusiastic about.

It’s called green energy because it doesn’t emit GHG during operation and is renewable.

There are issues with mining, but even taking mining into account, green energy is less environmentally damaging.

I advise you to look at hard data. Take a look at the attached link:

What are the safest and cleanest sources of energy?

Fossil fuels are the dirtiest and most dangerous energy sources, while nuclear and modern renewable energy sources are vastly safer and cleaner.

It’s still cleaner than burning fossil fuels, is it not?

🔋New Chinese export control just dropped.

Graphite, nickel cathodes, LFP, >300 Wh/kg batteries, and cell & material production equipment are all affected.

Exporters of these items must apply for permits from the Ministry of Commerce.
