Comment on NASA powers down science instrument to conserve Voyager 2 power supply
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 weeks agoWhy wouldn’t you just send a new device at that point? Also Voyager is actively moving so it would be very hard to catch up to

All good points, and I fully agree with you, I just though it was funny to immagine a space probe charging from a powerbank.
Then I started wondering how a modern powerbank with modern lithium ion cells would compare to the needs of the Voyager 2 probe, and started thinking of how it could be done.
