A promising technology for performing that task is the flow battery, an electrochemical device that can store hundreds of megawatt-hours of energy—enough to keep thousands of homes running for many hours on a single charge. What happens to vanadium in a flow battery over time?. Modular flow batteries are the core building block of Invinity's energy storage systems. Less energy intensive and slower to charge and discharge than their lithium-ion cousins, they fail to meet the performance requirements of snazzy, mainstream applications, such as cars and cell phones. VRB are applicable at grid scale and local user level.
