  • From what I’ve read (which was when I was seeing how feasible it is to run a fridge-freezer on a battery backup (Ecoflow, Jackery, Bluetti, etc), freezers (or at least fridge-freezers) don’t continuously draw even 250W. Most of the time they draw a very small current. But when the compressor kicks in that current spikes right up.

    On that topic of running one off a battery backup, the conclusion I came to is that it’s feasible as long as the battery has enough capacity to handle those spikes. So like a 1000W battery should be fine. But the battery will still drain quicker than you might think. Using a smaller chest freezer (preferably one that can be converted to/from a freezer and a fridge) is more efficient and will be more bang for your MWh.













  • There are so many inaccuracies and exaggerations with this meme, it’s absurd.

    Separatists within Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales reiterated their long-established desires to secede from the United Kingdom.

    This is pure political theater. Nothing of substance will come from this announcement! And to say there’s been a media blackout is ridiculous. It’s been all over the news.

    And no, it’s not really happening. Because not that many people want it to happen. Scotland recently had a referendum in this and wanted to stay as part of Britain and the UK.
