Just two years ago my car’s 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

I love how we still needlessly use so many zeroes instead of just calling it Ah. Phones with 5000 mAh batteries. Or you know, we could just cal it 5Ah battery. Chinese are even further obsessed with this just adding zeroes because the more zeroes the better!
Even better: we could use Wh instead, to not constantly correct for voltage!
But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.
Uh-huh I remember getting quite angry when I figured this out back in the day :D
Yeah but Americans are stupid and thought a 1/3lb burger was smaller than a 1/4lb burger. I fully expect they’d think 5Ah is smaller than 1000mAh.
I’ve wondered in the past why, for example, 1000 kilometers are still referred to as kilometers.
The moon is roughly 385 megameters away, or 0.4 gigameters!
Do we use MM for megameters and mm for millimeters? i think this might start to get confusing. We should probably clarify a few things before some tradie apprentice builds the galaxy’s largest bookshelf.
To avoid confusion, just use mebimeters (1 Mim = 2^20 m)
I only use parsecs to measure distance
Pretty sure parsecs measure time.
That is what star wars taught incorrectly, unfortunately
That was the joke :(
Judging by those USB plugs that hand is enormous
At first, I was concerned about that much energy in such a small package.
Now I’m afraid of that giant hand.
You’ll want to duck for cover if the battery gets punctured on this one.
Its only comparable to tens of KGs of TNT, stop worrying about it.
Its also 9000000000000000000 MAH at 0.0000000000001V
This is why mAh shouldn’t be used to measure battery capacity
Its actually useful because a battery has a specific operating voltage. It should be required to put both.
