I guess a label could be printed up and I could sell those to people at Football and Hockey matches.Do you have an EV? Take a drive.
Otherwise just need more cans, lots of them.....
"Full batteries, Get your full batteries"

Sure is entertaining to think of the possibilities! A whole fully charged CR2032!!More human-sized example: 100kg weight lifted to 2 meter height is 2 kilojoules or 0.55 Wh.
or about same amount of energy as thumnail-sized CR2032 button cell battery.
I just hit 100% battery on a beautiful day. I hate that (the 100%, not the beautiful day).
Why? Because I only drained down to 50% this morning instead of 30%, which would have probably worked for today.
Stupid weather forecasts are never right about cloud cover.
However, it was cloudy when I got up, so I guessed wrong.
Does everyone wake up and do this, or am I just obsessive about it?
There are companies working on circulating electrolyte batteries. Maybe some day gas pumps will become electrolyte pumps. Drain off your depleted electrolyte and refill with charged electrolyte, and be able to carry electricity in a can.Sadly you can not fill up a few 5kWh cans of fuel and hawk them to the Tesla tourists as they drive through. Or sell bottles of kool watts on a hot day to dehydrated joggers and the like. No way to make some easy return.
Great minds...More humble(and immediately effective), I boil water with a cheap hot plate and use it to kill weeds in my yard. Kills the dandelions just as well as Roundup or whatever, but non toxic.
Great minds...
Been doing the same thing.
Tried to get my brother fired up earlier (he's owns a lawncare / landscaping company)
It is 85F outdoors so I am running the back office/BR aircon unit this afternoon. Batteries full earlier in the day so it is entirely solar fed. Not really cycling long since the room had only got up to 75F. But it is a handy test of operation for my new aircon unit and AIO setup. If i did not have the excess power available I would likely just wait until evening to open a window for cooling. The main room is only 70F.what a "good" problem to have. Our EVs never seem to have enough. My back up plan is to heat/cool the house structural mass

I wonder if solar systems will become the new method for attracting a mate? A nest with power. Though I would not want to worry about an inadequate size PV keeping me from getting the women.
It's the size of your battery not the output of your inverter?It is 85F outdoors so I am running the back office/BR aircon unit this afternoon.

Isnt legionnaires disease a concern with this setup? I was always under the impression that you do not want stagnant water in a water heater. I was researching how to save power on my own water heater and came across this information. It seems even 120 degrees F is not quite hot enough to kill it.I have 2 50 gallon electric water heaters. I have cascaded them

Made sense back in 2010 when I did it but now if you don’t sell and upgrade you fall behind on the difficulty.Too expensive for all the computer equipment. But in the early days of Bitcoin it probably was a decent idea.
YES! You and me both!I've gone round and round in my thinking on this over the last several years - the answer is 'a battery'. Lately, I've been dreaming of a container with 60 used EV batteries to store up 4000kwh during summer for use during winter - 1 cycle / year so used EV batteries should last a long time
