I'm impressed these are already in vehicles since I heard the energy density wasn't as good as lithium. Should do away with a lot of the stationary lithium stuff.

Supposedly they don't have the charge-discharge rate limitations that lithium iron phosphate cells do, so I'm very interested in them for backup power (UPS) applications on a consumer scale - something to keep the homelab up during a power failure of a couple hours or less.

Do you think it would be enough to help people in areas with inconsistent power? I never really thought about bolstering power storage away from the center of the grid.
