Amongst the problems I had with Redflow personally, is the amount of moving parts and the overall clunky looking assembly of the unit. I believe that yes the batteries work well, and seems to be delivering solid and reliable performances in existing installations and on the battery test center tests.
I appreciate there has been alot of work from this team although overall this is a very young company with some headwinds to hitting profit. For a residential consumer I feel the battery is a bit out of reach and will be for some time. The Telco angle seems to be a strong one, as well as remote farms and properties requiring long discharge and sustainable, predictable power.
Another issue I see and one of the first questions I come across when discussing Redflow is the ability for customers to have their units rebuilt and serviced at end of life. As this is a long way off and being what I think is integral to the sales pitch of the batteries, it really is unproven as to whether Redflow will be around to carry this out when the time comes.
I do have a problem with this battery competing in say, 6 or 7 years time. Manufacturing new and Alternative batteries is improving everyday and the competition is fierce. I came across this company in Australia called Gelion just a few weeks ago and wanted to ask everyone's opinion on how this battery may stack up against Redflow. If their claims are honest it does seem to be a great product and the company has some serious backing at this early stage.
Interested to hear everyone's thoughts.
