Tesla is recalling Powerwall 2 batteries over fire risk

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-21 09:20:55

Tesla is recalling Powerwall 2 home batteries in Australia after the company received reports of fires that led to “minor property damage,” according to the Australia Competition and Consumer Commission. The recall affects an unspecified number of Powerwall 2 units made in the U.S. and sold between November 2020 and June 2022. The cells were made by an unnamed third-party supplier. Despite the fires, no injuries have been reported, the ACCC said in a recall notice. The Powerwall 2 contains 14

Fourth Power’s sci-fi thermal batteries could be cheaper than pricey natural gas power plants

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-21 21:08:20

Fourth Power’s take on long-duration energy storage sounds like something out of a James Bond film. The thermal batteries come complete with superheated liquid tin and argon-filled hermetically sealed chambers. The company’s goal, though, is far more prosaic — to store electricity cheap enough to make solar and wind an obvious choice for 24/7 power. Here’s how the technology works: To store energy, electricity from the grid heats blocks of carbon inside insulated chambers filled with argon gas.

So, we were intrigued when Anker debuted a new, very thin power bank this summer: the Anker Nano 5K MagGo Slim power bank.

The iPhone 17 just made USB-C charging even more of a nightmare

USB-C is an unfixable mess, that I’m convinced of, but a small part of me saw light at the end of the tunnel — that was until Apple launched the iPhone 17 series. With Apple’s latest phones, it’s now even harder for consumers to find the perfect plug to optimally fast-charge all their gadgets at once. Allow me to explain why. The good news, as it were, is that the iPhone 17 series claims “up to 50% charge in 20 minutes” with Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter. That’s still not super fast, bu

The game’s seamless way of balancing disparate levels of skill and aggression creates an addictive experience for just about everyone.

Android brands should learn honesty from Apple’s fast charger (?!)

TL;DR Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max provides more transparent marketing than most other fast chargers.

It supports the USB PD 3.2 AVS protocol, a step toward more open charging solutions, unlike many proprietary Android chargers.
