« Last post by Fizzie on April 21, 2024, 12:09:31 PM »Victorian fire authorities say they're responding to almost one lithium-ion battery fire every day. ...
fire services, who are responding to almost one fire per day caused by lithium-ion batteries ... a lot of people are charging devices while they're asleep — phones, computers, scooters, that type of thing," he said.
[/q ::)uote]
Sorry, but population of Victoria is ~7 million, + tourists on top of that, so it's probably fair to say that there are at least 50 million lithium-ion "devices" in Victoria, with "most" of them being charged most days.
& they're causing 1 fire a day
Compared to how many candle, gas, fat, petrol, bush ... fires
Please forgive me if I don't get too concerned!

Things get just a bit harder to do whan you get to 77
Any got 1 side done, just to grease them, wait until Monday to recover and then start on the other side
1st side all done and greased
2nd side started, spring removed all ready to install new 1 tomorrow.Learnt a lot from the 1st side,knew where the welds were hidden and cut them off quickly, what took 4 hours the 1st side took about 11/2
Setting up the jacks and stands and checking everything for safety took longer than removing the spring, I didn't want to make the news.
They are still flucking heavy

Basically just an elec vehicle with a built in ICE generator. The ICE engine can be tuned perfectly for one job rather than having to provide power/torque over a wide rev range. Short trips are completely elec driven and (hopefully) plug it in at home to only charge a small battery

What's everyone's thoughts - should we shoot for a 2025 National Meet?I think it would depend on bodies to put it together... Maybe aiming for next year would give more time for a team to put things together
maybe wack up a poll
Remember what ever the decision there will be support.
