Although, some would like to use this case as something to ban battery storage all together, new much safer battery technologies[1], Current magapack has been deployed using old battery technology and built 4 years ago. Batteries will just get better check this one:

or even this one from May 2021 Harvard university

- cbmuser 5y agoIt’s still one of the most inefficient and expensive ways to store energy. Just look at the price per kWh storage and the energy density compared to other technologies. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density
- mlindner 5y agoThat page is way out of date and in general not accurate (thus all the warnings on the table). If you have the space, it's cheapest to do gravity storage with water reservoirs, however you need specific geography for that to happen. If you need to build such a reservoir without assisting geography it would be prohibitively expensive. The only other real option is batteries.
- manicdee 5y agoIf anyone tries using this as a reason to ban batteries just ask what happened at Calide (turbine exploded, lodging 200kg debris in the roof of its building)
- vmladenov 5y agoDo you know why gravity isn’t used more as a storage mechanism? It seems like you could use batteries as big capacitors for pumps and have the “real” energy stored in water towers.
