Hey, I like chemical batteries too, but they're not capacitors. You don't put electricity into them. You drive an electrochemical reaction with them, which is subject to its own inefficiencies, as well as wear and tear on the battery, which isn't a problem with hydrogen fuel cells.
Hydrogen fuel cells also tend to be highly efficient.
- lutorm 12y agoSure. Are you saying the fuel cell cycle is actually more efficient than the battery cycle? The long-term performance question is interesting, though. Any idea how long the time scale would have to be before the fuel cell wins?
