<![CDATA[Video on Edison battery]]>A lot of blabbering in this video on the Nickel/Iron Edison battery with lofty claims. So what is he not saying? How big does it need to be to provide useful power?

From what I've read, it tends to use up the water in the electrolyte fairly quick by splitting into hydrogen and oxygen. Also, It's working voltage is ~1.2v but it needs 1.6v (1.65v if added lithium) to take a change? The inverter I'm leaning towards now, GTIL2000, for low cost and simple connection has an input range of 45v-90v. When using a 48v LFoP battery, it only can produce about 1300w. With a 72v, it's around 1700w according post on a solar forum. One of these batteries with enough sells to put the charge voltage just below 90v with give me a battery that only has about 60v when no solar to charge it. That would really cripple the inverter.

Here is a few videos of someone messing with this battery making his own electrodes and a gell electrolyte in an effort to improve the battery.
