Re: [RE-wrenches] Aquion Energy
I just asked the same question to Brad @AEE, they have a set hooked up for test but test has not started yet. From an environmental point of view they are safer than anything on the market. I attempted to contact Aquion, I have emailed called, I left several messages and never heard back.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Aquion Energy
Hi Mark, There was some discussion back in November 2014 on this list. They claim 100% DoD but I can’t see how you can use the full capacity of the battery due to the broad operating voltage.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Aquion Energy
Aloha All, We have been integrating Aquion Energy batteries into select Off Grid homes for just over a year now, with great success. The key is designing them for what they are, and not as if they were a lead acid battery. The biggest added design criteria is taking into consideration their power limitation's along with energy sizing. Most lead acid batteries only needed to be designed around energy and not power. Often, specially with Aquion first generation S10 stacks, sizing the battery around a customers power required a larger battery then their energy requirements. Aquion's first generation stacks had a very high impedance, causing large voltage swings with any thing larger then a 2 amp per stack charge or discharge cycle. If you designed a battery matching just the energy concerns, you would most likely run into power limitations and therefore the batteries voltage would drop below most inverters operating window. The first generation S10 stack, would drop down to 30V! Aquion's third generation S20P stack is currently shipping it has a much lower impedance allowing full capacity discharge above 40Vdc. Their ability to have a fluctuating SOC, and not require charging to 100% without shortening their cycle life is a major advantage over lead acid, not to mention, being the only non hazardous battery in the world, no maintenance and not requiring to be equalized.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Aquion Energy
Hi: There was a lot of talk about on this forum some months ago. Aquion is a very unique word, so a keyword search should work very well. Michael, is there a method by which we can do a keyword search of past posts?

Re: [RE-wrenches] Aquion Energy
Wrenches We did research on this battery going back close to two years, we found that there was an unusable part of the battery capacity that was to far out of range to consider refer to the charts from Aquion, also look at the mass or space required. I do like the idea but the cupcake holder has such a large amount of wasted space that we are holding back on it. space shipping and usable capacity did not add up compared to other technologies Jerry On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 2:20 AM, Mark Frye ma...@berkeleysolar.com wrote: Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with the Aquion Energy battery?
