Yes. Replacing a battery is exactly as hard as building a nuclear reactor. Frequency of replacing parts is precisely the only thing related to cost.

- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoOf course, we are rebuilding nuclear reactors every 10 years from ground up. And of course that "just changing few MWh in batteries" is the cheapest part of whole battery storage.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoNo, just digging up a thousand tonnes of uranium and then lugging spent fuel around in several thousand tonnes of copper casks every three to six years. Way easier than recycling a few GWh of batteries every 20 years, or simply using a pumped hydro station.
