  • Thanks for your insight. You seem to have some experience.

    I'm currently researching a solar hybrid power system in India and am going through different battery types. We have used deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with a regular UPS and I'm familiar with their lifesoan.

    Do lifepo4s last longer? I'm only seeing marginally longer lifespans. I'm also concerned about safety. I'm quite scared of regular lithiums and have read that lifepo4s are more hardy.

    What about maintenance? Anything else I need to know about them?

  • Forgive me if I'm wrong, but auto batteries aren't meant for deep discharge. UPS's use a specific type of battery that is meant for it.

    Using auto batteries in this situation would likely end up in them dying after a few months.

  • As a digital nomad, I'm guessing you would have been to relatively low CoL places like Bali, Thailand, maybe Eastern Europe or LatAm. You have to remember that your experience as someone from the global north, earning in a strong currency is very different from a local person there.

    Not that i disagree with you that rankings are flawed but by the same token, Canada /is/ in the top 5 for many people from low standard-of-living countries

  • Thanks for the answers! I had a bad taste in my mouth after his dandruff video which felt very corporate but I gave him the benefit of the doubt assuming that the science was solid. I guess my gut instinct was right.

    I still think a lot of his videos are good, it's just sad that the obviously sponsored ones are low quality. I'll check out the links and response video someone else posted and keep being skeptical.

  • If you like Unravel 2 you'll love ITT. Similar vibe. Some other recommendations that I played through with my partner:

    • Brothers: a tale of two sons
    • A way out
    • Trine, Trine 2, Trine 3?, T4? Only played the first 2 in co-op
    • Guacamelee, G2 (only played 2 in co-op, 1 was in solo)
