FAQ: Advanced Battery Technology

Q: How long do solid-state batteries last compared to traditional lithium-ion? A: Current prototypes show 3-4x longer lifespan under similar usage conditions.

Q: What's the main barrier to flow battery adoption? A: While excellent for grid storage, their lower energy density makes them less suitable for mobile applications.

Q: Can existing factories switch to new battery chemistries? A: Partial retrofitting is possible, but optimal production typically requires specialized lines - hence the importance of phased implementation planning.
