Flow batteries are innovative systems that use liquid electrolytes stored in external tanks to store and supply energy. They're highly flexible and scalable, making them ideal for large-scale needs like grid support and renewable energy integration. Unlike traditional lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries, flow batteries offer longer life spans, scalability, and the ability to discharge for extended durations.
