Seems odd to talk about "stationary batteries" as a separate product, as if a car weren't stationary most of its life. (but I suppose that changes in a future of sharing economies and self-driving cars)
- dangrossman 12y agoThe cars are mostly stationary, but they're stationary in the wrong place during peak consumption hours: a workplace parking lot, not a garage connected to the grid.

- masklinn 12y ago> Seems odd to talk about "stationary batteries" as a separate product Why? The constraints (in terms of size, cooling, wiring, weight, temperature changes, …) are completely different. A stationary battery is a separate product, competing in a completely different class and with very different constraints.
- michaelt 12y agoBatteries for transport applications have to trade off size and weight as well as the constraints of price, capacity and cycle life. Stationary power storage applications can use larger batteries with worse power density, if they offer a longer life per $.
