Yeah, that kind of thing sucks. On the other hand, I think some utility providers are investigating alternative battery tech. Look into Vanadium flow batteries as one option. The problems with lead acid and Lithium are better handled by Liquid electrolyte batteries, which can scale better and seem to be much more stable in storage scenarios. The downside is that they can be huge, so they'll never be any good in cars, but might be great in warehouses.
