Compared to other batteries such as lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion, sodium-sulfur or sodium-nickel chloride batteries the VRFB shows decisive advantages:
- Lasting value – electrolyte lifetime of up to 40 years
- Environmentally friendly: no emissions
- Non-hazardous because non-flammable and non-explosive
- Flexible scalability -> performance and energy corresponding to your requirement
- High cyclical resistance (typically up to 10,000 full cycles)
- Island capable and mains parallel capability due to integrated inverter
- No self-discharging in the tanks
- Integrated real time monitoring and self-diagnosis
- Low maintenance
- Compatible with all renewable energy sources
- Intrinsically safe – design measures ensure highest safety possible.
- Eco design: repairable
- Easy to install
- Real time measuring of charging status
- Same electrolyte in both tanks: vanadium
- 100% recyclable
- Reversible charging and discharging process within the electrolyte
- 100% deep discharge capability without consequences
- Developed and manufactured by SCHMID in Freudenstadt, Germany
