Game Changing New Battery

Ceramatec in Salt Lake City had developed a deep-storage batter that may finally give the wind and solar energy producers/users something to cheer about.

This battery is a game changer. It can produce 5 kw of electricity for over 4 continuous hours at a maximum temperature of about 90 deg. C AND for about 3 cents per kw/hr compared to 8 cents for power off the grid.

The battery is designed to be able to do a 3,650 daily discharge/recharge cycles over a 10 year period. That is phenomenal!
