I found a link recently pointing to a project at the University of New South Wales to create an apparently new type of battery. They call it a Vanadium Redox Battery. I claim to know absolutely nothing about battery chemistry, so I have no idea what the potential of this technology is, but I thought I'd pass it on to the list as I don't remember seeing it discussed before. It seems to recycle the electrolyte somehow to "refuel" in a way. Something like you can charge it normally or replace the electrolyte to replace capacity. Any observations, thoughts or rants?
