Idiots.One big problem with lithium-ion batteries, which we use to power our laptops, phones and electric vehicles, is that they continuously degrade, even when they are not in use, says Pongrácz. "There's no chemical reaction in sand batteries so they don't go through a similar process of ageing," says Pongrácz.
Lithium batteries are not suitable for large-scale storage applications, says Yulong Ding, director of the Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage in the UK, adding that they are also inherently flammable.
You use Vanadium, or all-Iron Redox flow batteries, not LiBs for grid storage.
Clearly they failed electro-chem classes.

Sorry, coca is bad enough for the nose without turning my smeller into a cancer.
