    Mining is a 24/7 operation. There is no “over night” rest period. You need batteries that can charge during breaks for workers and usually they have 3 breaks in a 12 hour shift.

    So 4 hours runtime, 20 minutes back to full charge is a pretty good fit.

    Never mind the couple of megawatts needed to charge a 600kW battery in 1/3rd of an hour. 2 MW is enough to comfortably power ~100 homes. Have a fleet of these on charge and you’re drawing the same amount of power as a small town.
