New Battery technology
Forum rules
The usual. As I have two large solar PV systems here, and my lab assistant just put one in, and others are interested in things like this, here's where that stuff goes. This is mostly for things that work now, not "gee someday a fusor will do this" -- we know that, but it's not someday yet.
The hope is to save anyone embarking on this sort of thing a lot of wasted time and money, as at least I have been off the grid since 1980 and have had a lot of practice (and made mistakes you won't have to).

Re: New Battery technology
For once, this didn't look like something that will definitely take forever to exist in the world. Most of those "new battery tech" announcements seem like they would, they have too many "ifs" in them, and too little info on what they do have. This looked better than that. Potassium, eh? Nicer than lithium for costs if you don't care about weight (and I don't for my house) and water electrolyte, killer good. Now if they can just actually make some batteries! I could definitely stand to double my 20kwh hour set, more or less.
Posting as just me, not as the forum owner. Everything I say is "in my opinion" and YMMV -- which should go for everyone without saying.
