One of these days I'm expecting to see someone build a power wall style
installation that uses lithium ion power tool batteries plugged into sockets.
Imagine a closet full of Ryobi ONE+ 18 volt batteries. Buy them used, old ones
on clearance etc. The practical aspect is the ONE+ batteries have built in safe
discharge control so they can be used in the old blue and orange tools, and
Ryobi didn't have to include discharge control circuitry in every new green and
black tool. The lithium ion ONE+ batteries do require a special charger that
uses the 4th contact. Those chargers can also charge to 3 contact nickel
cadmium batteries. I dunno why Ryobi skipped using nickle metal hydride.

Great analysis, Chris. There's no way I'd use any lead acid battery
technology in a new off-the-grid solar power system.
A friend of mine replaced his old lead acid batteries with a home brewed
Tesla Power Wall, built from the battery from a wrecked Tesla Model S
automobile.
