Flow Battery Technology
Flow Battery
Flow batteries are rechargeable devices that store electricity as chemical energy, just like the batteries in your personal devices and electric vehicles! The difference? The battery-active chemicals are dissolved in water and flowed through the power cell, ideal for large-scale, stationary application on the electric grid.
