Batteries are perhaps the most prevalent and oldest forms of energy storage technology in human history. 4 Nonetheless, it was not until 1749 that the term "battery" was coined by Benjamin Franklin to describe several capacitors (known as Leyden jars, after the town in which it was discovered), connected in series. The term "battery" was presumably chosen

Lithium-ion batteries have dominated the ESS market to date. However, they have inherent limitations when used for long-duration energy storage, including low recyclability and a reliance on “conflict minerals” such as cobalt. Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage projects.
With vanadium flow batteries, all parts and components have a recyclability factor close to 100%. The electrolyte can be processed and reused; 100% of the vanadium can be extracted and reused for other applications with no impact on primary mining. Also, these batteries contain no toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, and nickel.
One more advantage of these batteries – the acidity levels are much lower than lead-acid batteries. In its lifespan, one StorEn vanadium flow battery avoids the disposal, processing, and landfill of eight lead-acid batteries or four lithium-ion batteries.
The technology relies on the ability of vanadium to exist in four different oxidation states (V2+, V3+, V4+ and V5+), each of which holds a different electrical charge. Invinity’s approach is novel in that we employ patented materials and cell structures within a fully-integrated turn-key product architecture.
