Batteries can't last forever. If you own a smartphone, you'll notice that the battery's charge diminishes over time and that you need to plug in your phone more often. But this issue isn't exclusive to smartphone batteries. All batteries have a limited lifespan and eventually need to be replaced. Even home batteries, giant lithium-ion batteries that act as a backup power source for your home, are not immune to the inevitable demise their smaller counterparts face.

How Long Does a Home Battery Last?

Are you looking for the headphones with the best ANC? Here they are, and you can get them on sale right now!. I live in LA, where noise pollution is no joke. When I asked my co-workers at Sound Guys which headphones had the best ANC for potentially blocking out a helicopter hovering over my room, they all agreed that if any headphones could do this, it would be the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. That said, these are expensive, so it’s nice to catch a good deal when possible. Right now, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are just $349, saving you $80 bucks.

Will quick charging ever be a major focus for Google? Consumers sure hope so. It’s fair to say the strength of the Google Pixel series does not lie in its charging speed. This is also true with the latest iteration. While the Pixel 9 line has plenty going for it, from its iPhone-like aesthetics to its broader size variety, the baseline phones are still limited to 27W through the wall. The top-billed Pixel 9 Pro XL can muster 37W on paper. While that’s nothing to sniff at, it still falls short of other great Android phones and even Samsung’s 45W flagships.

Poll result: Pixel charging speeds aren't winning many of you over

Electric drivetrains enjoy many benefits. They are substantially more efficient and reliable thanks to their simpler and more compact design. They do feature more advanced components made from high-cost materials, which contributes to their already high pricing strategy. Another noteworthy benefit of electric drive units is that they are substantially lighter than a conventional ICE. Unfortunately, the weight of an average lithium-ion battery pack results in EVs weighing substantially more than your average ICE sedan.

(iSeeCars) – Electric cars are supposed to supplant internal-combustion-powered vehicles over the next 10-20 years. And while the sales of electric cars are growing, they remain a small fraction of the U.S. market due to their higher costs and limited charging stations. These problems should be resolved over the next few years, with likely breakthroughs […]

It’s time for yet another iteration of the classic debate — whether or not more megapixels are actually better on a smartphone camera. Usually, we’re worried about how brands can fit 200MP into a primary camera or why they stuck with a lowly 2MP macro camera for another year, but not this time. This time, it’s all about snapping selfies on the Google Pixel 9 series.

SlashGear has traditionally focused on advancements in terrestrial transportation like cars and motorcycles, but we've devoted plenty of space to discussion of marine engines as well. We've presented a guide to Yamaha outboard motors, a similar primer on boats powered by electric motors, and a spotlight on General Motors' partnership with a hybrid marine engine manufacturer. Most marine engines fall into one of three formats. Many recreational boats use outboard motors, which mount to a watercraft's transom and have a propeller shaft mounted perpendicular to the driveshaft.

The Tesla Model 3 is already one of the most popular electric vehicles, thanks to its large selection of great EV features and a reasonably low price compared to other electric cars.
