@lenzgr also #SodiumBatteries or rather #SaltwaterCells are not only going to beat #Lithium in terms of #pricing but also are way less hazardous and energy intensive to manufacture..

• And whilst they don't compete with #LiFePO4 or #LiIon / #LiCo / #LiPo cells in terms of #EnergyDensity they'll certainly replace #LeadAcid for stationary #UPS-alike applications.

Not to mention they'd really make sense next to rectifiers for #OffshoreWind, #PV / #Solar and other #RenewableEnergy sources where they could buffer away peaks and fluctuations as well as increase total output on average...

• Only better would be the even more scalable #MethanolFuelcell-based systems which in return could also replace #Diesel for #Emergency #Generators as #Methanol is almost as easy to store longterm and safetywise is even easier to handle than Racing #Gasoline.
