Hi all,
I'm interested in the latest development in battery technology. as of now, from what I understand, the most advanced tech in energy storage (battery) is created by Tesla, the PowerWall. but, even that, can only store 14kWh per unit. my house consumption is about 10kWh per day. my question is, what are the type of batteries out there available to the public? I'm only concerned of these things:
1. capacity --> I need to store 2-3 weeks worth of energy (in case of blackouts), so, it's somewhere around 140kWh - 210 kWh. if possible, I need it to be less than 10 units (so each unit is around 21kWh)
2. durability --> must be able to store huge amount of energy for a long period of time without dissipating. Now, it won't be charged and discharging frequently. charged only after a blackout, and won't be discharging until the next blackout, so storing for long time
3. warranty --> if possible, above 10 years warranty that energy leakage is less than 5%
price is not an issue. what are my options?
what's the latest type of battery suited for this type of usage?
thanks
