How long does a vanadium flow battery last?
Vanadium flow batteries “have by far the longest lifetimes” of all batteries and are able to perform over 20,000 charge-and-discharge cycles—equivalent to operating for 15–25 years—with minimal performance decline, said Hope Wikoff, an analyst with the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
What is a vanadium redox flow battery?
Unlike lithium-ion batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries do not maintain a fixed power-to-energy ratio – the power that can flow into or out of the battery to the amount of energy that can be stored. The electrolyte is stored in two separate tanks connected to a reactor where electrons can be exchanged.
