There must be a better way to make these. Now all cells are made from baked Silicon ingots, that are sliced ultra-thin by some magic saw blade.
Then they have to be framed and soldered manually.
Lets say you can use a battery of the salt water type to charge up a small amp-hour LiTO bank. Then you could suddenly use your 2kW owen or angle grinder for a limited period of time, and while you inspect the work, or serve the meal the salt water battery could anew charge up the Power dense LiTO.
He would probably disagree with you on that. Anyway, Elon has been Shanghaied by Beijing too so they can replace the current source code of Twitter with the source code of Chinese Wee-chat.
Human history is really horrifying, I agree. But in context of flow batteries vs LiFePo4, my personal vote is on what I can put my hands on in my own back yard, and that is not Lithium. I don't like what happens in Beijing or Shanghai right now. I will not finance it. Don't blame me for human...
For now we are only discussing the Redflow batteries. There are at least two other companies already deploying flow batteries of different types into industrial use cases. The technology behind these upcoming initiatives may just be simple enough to DIY. in your own back yard. I wouldn't mind...
Thailand have still to commit the gross atrocities that we've seen coming from China over the decades. I don't think it a bit wise to put _all_ the investments of our "green" western infra structure into the hands of those that seek to destabilize, dominate, divide, destroy and conquer.
I found this video slide presentation of their current development. They are of course not working with home installations yet. We mere mortals will have to wait until the tech has been adapted towards us home brewers.
Example: First Tesla cars were ridiculously expensive and unreliable. Now their price have gone down to a reasonable level reliability has improved as well .
Li Fe Po Battery technology is toxic.
It has to be purchased and shipped from an autocratic China, with no laws protecting customers, and...
