Could Zinc Gel Chemistry Outperform Flow Batteries?

Cars That Think

Another general disadvantage is that it is heavier and larger than lithium-ion batteries. On the other hand, lithium-ion is temperature sensitive and state-of-charge sensitive. Zero state of charge is also no problem, so we serve a completely different market to that of lithium-ion."
