It's certainly a fault tolerant technology - 5% of cells can fail without battery failure. Not like the control issues with LiIon. Dear Stephen

For use in electric cars and in utility systems, I would thinkt that they would have to be repeatedly charged and discharged. Anyone know if they perform better than Li-ion technology on that front?
