    Props for the build from the Netherlands! Your story on the little poles in Amsterdam is partly true. They are not modelled after windmills but after the flag of the city of Amsterdam which has 3 crosses on it. The poles are also known as 'amsterdammertje' because of it and other cities might have other markings on them instead of the crosses. Keep up the good work!

    While LiFePO batteries do lose some capacity in the cold I've always been told it's about max 10%, more around 5% loss, compared to the upwards of 30% loss you can see in lead acid batteries around -5.

    Fun fact! The Amsterdammer
    The Amsterdammertje is a pole that you encounter in the streets of the capital. It stands on a sidewalk to prevent cars from driving or parking on the sidewalk. It also serves as a clear divider between the sidewalk and the roadway. If you make a canal cruise in Amsterdam, you will see some of these posts here and there.
    History
    In the 18th century, facades of corner houses were often damaged by carts and carriages that took too tight a turn. To protect their homes, residents set up cannon barrels along the curb. These were filled with sand and covered with a cannonball. They were the forerunners of the Amsterdammertje. After the Second World War, the main function of the bollards was to prevent parking.
