I'm personally convinced that the cause of back problems is sitting way to much.

I'm not super convinced a 20 Wh battery is much safer than 40 or 50 Wh one. I guess if my phone's battery bursts into flames in my pocket I would want the smaller battery. I would like if the regulation required greater than 20 Wh batteries to use a non-flammable electrolyte chemistry like Lithium Iron Phosphate.

Thank you! I was able to make a new panel and delete the one on "disconnected Screen 2".

Also, burning it in a pit or those big metal barrels.

They look like scuds to me. Brine shrimp would not survive in fresh water very long. Personally, I think they are harmless fish food but some people may disagree.

You can see an angle grinder cut into the chip left to the cpu socket. Looks like the board snapped while they where cutting it for some reason.

Yep, just dump some flex seal on it and it's good to go.

Its make so much sense to switch to renewables. When you extract oil and burn it you lose the oil and it's basically unrecoverable. When a solar panel or battery reaches it's end of life all of it's components are still there and can be fully re-manufactured. So the more oil you extract and burn the more expensive it becomes because you have to pump from more deep/remote places. It doesn't scale well over time. The more solar panels and batteries you make you get to keep all the materials used to make them. So they get cheaper as time goes on because there is more supply.

Nice! How does the drainage work on the inside unit? Are you worried about it getting moldy?

If you have multi meter and the voltage is at zero then it should be safe to recycle normally. If it's charged and swollen then it's a fire risk. Keep the battery in the phone and in a metal container until you know there is no energy left in the battery. A dead battery even swollen shouldn't be a fire risk.
