It's a bit odd that the deletion starts midway through section 8. In a perfect world I'd first assume a software bug, then an accident, then incompetency. In the current political climate, … I don't even know what to think.

Yeah, I'm just saying, you can't even buy regular protected cells and put them in, because they won't fucking fit. I do think "actual" 18650 protected cells exist, but they would be rare and expensive because you

Putting the protection circuit* on the battery's negative pole is standard best practice (due to NMOS efficiency, and it not being a problem in the slightest), and the 50mΩ actually improves balancing. Please avoid making comments lik

I'm confused that noone is pointing out most protected 18650 cells won't even fit in those holders, since protected cells are generally in the 18690…18700 pseudo size range. That's too long to get into those holders. Source:

It doesn't matter what happens in the 10 to 90% range, if one discharges before the other, it's perfectly fine. It's not like this is an application that needs the combined current capability of both cells. What does matter

If you compare "to the home panel", that's 380~400V in most "230V" countries. Three phase of course.

You need to replace the PK with one of your own, because that is used to sign all the other keys, and generally there can only be one PK. You can then re-sign the existing keys with your own PK (e.g. if you want to dual boot Windows) — or

mokutil is technically the wrong tool for this, it lists shim-installed machine owner keys (MOK). This is about UEFI-installed key exchange keys (KEK). If you don't know what's going on you'll be very confused about empty k

No it's not. Secure boot without user control is evil. UEFI generally allows user control. Of course a vendor can make an UEFI system that doesn't allow user keys… don't buy that.
