But these carbon batteries aren't any better than Lithiums are they?
Do they recharge quicker? - No
Do they last longer - probably not, maybe about the same
Can they take deeper DOD than Lithium? - No
Are they lighter weight than Lithium? - No
Are they cheaper than Lithium? - probably about the same
So where is the advantage? It's easy to compare with flooded wet cells, yes they're much better. But so are Lithiums - and they are proven technology, coming down in price as their use increases in automotive applications and Mr Musks new Gigafactory comes online. I think you're all looking in the wrong direction...
