It has a shelf-life of up to 10 years, a high running voltage, a flat discharge voltage curve, low impedance which enables better performance at low temperatures, and advanced safety features like over current protection.
[pdf] New research coming out of the University of Iceland introduces the novel idea of adding EES technologies such as Lithium-ion batteries across the country’s grid to store it’s 100 percent renewably sourced electricity, effectively creating the world’s first renewable “green battery.”
