Clint Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 These are now available. I wonder what they cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

___ Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I looked at it a while ago. Some things I noted: 1. This takes a LOT of floor space for the same capacity (ie energy density is low). 2. Can't charge or discharge very fast, so you'll need a lot of it to handle peak charge/demand 3. Cost per kwh is comparable to lead acid, but due to point 2 above, initial investment is a barrier to entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I see that the 2kw/h can only supply 450 W and can only be charged at 20 A They need to improve the anode and cathode tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
