The ABC has a report on Australian flow battery company Redflow and their new ZCell home energy storage device.
The 10 kWh device is being touted as a competitor to the Tesla Powerwall, with one benefit highlighted being the ability to easily recycle the materials used, quoting company chairman Simon Hackett - "The active parts are plastic, aluminium and steel, the fluid electrolyte can be removed and cleaned and put in the next battery so the whole thing is very recyclable". Redflow announced pricing details and specifications on Wednesday - the ZCell will be installed for between $A17,500 and $A19,500 a system.
