Possible Future 1414 Projects upscaled, page-36

The fact that 1414 systems last 25 years without upgrades verses lithium batteries that would be needing cells replaced within 10 years would be a factor in the cost comparisons.

Also lithium batteries start losing their capacity holding power, losing 30% of Capacity in a pretty short projected timeframe,

Compared to 1414 systems that dont seem to lose capacity to hold energy over the 25 years and are easily recyclable compared to lithium batteries,

Also its alot messier and polluting process to make lithium batteries compared to Molten silicone systems that has almost zero pollution to produce them.
