That arrangement addresses the two major challenges with flow batteries. First, vanadium doesn''t degrade. “If you put 100 grams of vanadium into your battery and you come back in 100 years, you should be able to recover 100 grams of that vanadium — as long as the battery doesn''t have some sort of a physical leak,” says Brushett.

Learn MoreBefore we get into the nitty gritty of this amazing product, let's have a quick look at exactly what is a Vanadium flow battery. A vanadium flow battery, also known as a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB), is a type of rechargeable battery that utilizes vanadium ions in different oxidation states to store chemical potential energy.
As implied by their names, these batteries use vanadium ions in their electrolyte solutions. Vanadium is an expensive metal, which drives up the cost of a VRFB system compared with other battery types. Vanadium batteries should be analysed as a long-term investment: their upfront cost is high, but it is spread throughout a very long service life.
Some vanadium batteries already provide complete energy storage systems for $500 per kilowatt hour, a figure that will fall below $300 per kilowatt hour in less than a year. That is a full five years before the gigafactory hits its stride. By 2020, those energy storage systems will be produced for $150 a kwh. Then there is scaling.
Vanadium batteries also require a lot of space, making them impractical for electric vehicles and other mobile applications. Vanadium batteries are also outclassed by lithium-ion batteries round-trip efficiency. On average they offer 85% efficiency, which is not bad, but lithium ion batteries are already above 95%.
