Thank you for the URL.  I have never heard of these.
Huh, there is no lithium in the batteries.  I am not a big fan of liquid lithium batteries due to their narrow range of operating temperature, 59 F to 85 F.  Also due to their tendency to have runaway exothermic reactions above 140 F.
"Vanadium emerging as electrolyte of choice for flow batteries"
"There are different types of flow batteries out there, from polysulfide redox, hybrid, to organic, as well as a long list of electrochemical reaction couplings (including zinc-bromine and iron-chromium), though none have reached the performance, efficiency, or cost levels needed for wide scale adoption - yet."
"Most of the commercially-available flow batteries use a vanadium liquid electrolyte, a material found primarily in Russia."
We are not friends with Russia at the moment.  I had to tell all of my customers in Russia goodbye a couple of years ago.  That has cost me and my primary business quite a bit of money.
