Get a quoteThis means that for the same size battery, vanadium can store less energy. A study from the Journal of Power Sources in 2021 found that vanadium batteries had an energy density of around 25-40 Wh/kg compared to 150-250 Wh/kg for lithium-ion batteries. This limitation can restrict vanadium batteries'' usage in space-constrained applications.

For several reasons, including their relative bulkiness, vanadium batteries are typically used for grid energy storage, i.e., attached to power plants/electrical grids.
At the end of the battery’s 25+ year lifespan, the vanadium electrolyte can be reused in another battery. It might only need to be rebalanced to recover any minor capacity loss over that time. For example, VRFB manufacturer CellCube reported a ~1% capacity loss for a VRFB that had been operating for 10 years.
Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage projects. Also known as the vanadium redux battery (VRB) or vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), VFBs are a type of long duration energy storage (LDES) capable of providing from two to more than 10 hours of energy on demand.
Both electrolytes are vanadium-based. As the batteries are charged and discharged, vanadium ions are simply moved between oxidation states. According to Matt, this can be done tens of thousands of times over a time period measured in decades, with no degradation in the ability of the vanadium solutions to hold charge.
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.
Because vanadium electrolyte doesn’t degrade, it is an appropriate commodity for leasing. The customer then has an operating expense rather than a capital expense. This also provides comfort to the customer as at the end of the battery’s life the electrolyte belongs to someone else who will then be responsible for retrieving and repurposing it.
