Yes if you are talking about battery cells you are right.
But moving parts, physically wearing parts. A Redflow battery physically moves a liquid. Therefore that's why it's efficiency is a bit lower. My point is focussed on these smaller moving parts.
Battery cells have been proven millions of times over and a multitude of different environments. I think apart from the possible fire risks or thermal runaway risk, as a maintenance case I think something like Hornsdale battery has much lower requirements and risk, than stacks of Redflow batteries.
Happy to be shown why it would be otherwise. I'm just discussing what I see as an issue to MW Redflow systems.
It would make more sense to make individual 100kwh or 250kwh units for that purpose.
