Weekly Notes 26/2026

What's been happeningWe're back in the cold, cold fronts of Sydney... what we'd do to get the warm sun from Seattle back here.. but that will have to wait. To make matters worse, it has been a really cold and wet week. Since switching to AGL's battery plan, I'd been selling a lot more of my battery capacity back to the grid. I generally keep a reserve of about 30-40% - that's enough to power us for a couple of days, assuming we'd have enough sun to top up the battery. With the cold and wet week, we'd been discharging more than we'd been charging and, alas, this Saturday night, my battery drained to the absolute minimum it'd been set to discharge (~10%) and we had to fall back to the grid. No harm done, I'm sure the credits I got from selling will offset this use.Battery state of charge over the weekAfter returning from Seattle, I took Monday off to recover. Tuesday, it was back to usual with work and gym. Having missed training last week, I wasn't looking forward to the workout.…
