You have a source on the 5 years life expectancy of battery systems ?
- NickM 6y agoYeah that seems too low to me, given that a lot of electric vehicles warranty their batteries for 8 years, and those batteries typically undergo more stress in terms of peak charge/discharge and such (and also would be expected to normally last beyond the warranty period - it’s not like they all drop dead after 8 years and one day).
- rhodozelia 6y agoIt was relayed to me by a mathematician doing the analysis on sizing a battery system at a solar plant in Hawaii. The trade off between decreases longevity with depth of discharge or increased up front costs for more batteries that don’t get discharged as deeply.
