Clicked on the link expecting it to be a discussion about energy systems on lunar expeditions, or challenges, something like that.

Instead I found it to be a product for "endless energy"? Scrolled to see "your time machine has arrived." Scrolled further to discover the team has "talented people", then that I could design my system today. Clicked "Explore system" and found the explanation for what this product is and the option to reserve: it's a "clean energy break"!

Seriously, why does a company page for a _battery_ take scrolling through pithy Apple-style marketing language and multiple clicks to discover that we're talking about a _battery_?

One of their "brilliant" "talented" people appears to be huffing solder fumes without a fume extractor. Doesn't seem that brilliant to me.

Pb free man, gotta show people that you believe in your product by huffing tin fumes.

Even lead free solder smoke causes a bunch of ill effects. It's not a smart way to spend a day!

Check out the MSDS for various lead-free solders. They all warn against inhalation. Example: Read section 11 (page 8, toxicology) of https://www.rsd.net/assets/item/1431.pdf
