My central heating system has a device has a float to leak off gas; is there anything simillar for these small systems? Maybe a T with a transparent tube sticking up to catch gas might be a nice addition. Heat some water and one can see the dissolved oxygen being released long before any...

Heating drives the dissolved oxygen out.

I'm glad that pump-out is recognized as a thing.

I didn't mean to suggest that one should not regulate, just to point out a possible consequence.

There should be no space, thermal grease is to fill pits not gaps.

No, way way more For every 10°C cooler, the life approximately doubles.

Ah, so 20K is indeed hours, good to know. My guess is at 105°C

20k is probabaly not hours

Why?

I got a second hand Micron 1100 2TB SATA SSD for $45

20k hours at what temperature?

Not sure all lead acid batteries are equal; I run a AGM battery in my car.

Would it be cheaper to use a TLC drive?

Regulation has its own issues Without regulation, as the power station gets overloaded its voltage drops, which would normally help it cope. With regulated power supplies, the load would not reduce and the power station is more likely to collapse.
