I’ve been hearing about these for a few years now. Huge if they work out at a large scale.

    Kind of, yes. But more importantly, it also means it can only push enough power to run at 3c. And that’s probably not for the full charge of the battery.

    So a 100 amp hour battery rated at 3c can push out 300 amps. Which also means that if the grid needs a short spike in power, it might be limited.

    It shouldn’t be too hard to get a 15c LiPo battery, which could push 5x as much energy at peak demand.

    You’d probably kill the battery if you charged it from 0-100 at 15c, but for short bursts of charging and discharging, it should handle it just fine.
