minus-square@delirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilink1•11 months agoLithium isn’t used for grid batteries because weight doesn’t matter. Grid batteries with lead acid last 3 decades. Does this one last longer?
minus-square@zik@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•11 months agoLithium is used in grid storage: Hawaii Ventura County Collie Hornsdale Bouldercombe Geelong And that’s just what I could find in a couple of minutes.
minus-square@delirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilink-2•11 months agoAgain, that doesn’t matter since the battery doesn’t move. This is a grid battery
minus-square@Allero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilink1•11 months agoThe question is then whether it’s cheaper to buy LiFePos instead of lead acid or to install more solar panels.
minus-square@Allero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilink1•11 months agoAgreed - it’s not that there are no space constraints at all.
minus-squarecapitallinkfedilink1•11 months agoYou’re thinking of density. Efficiency certainly matters.
