Long-life, high-capacity, low-cost battery energy storage may be useful solutions to power outage service restoration, peak-shaving and renewable-source electric energy storage. 

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) lab predicts scaled-up cost of its liquid sulfur flow battery could be 1/5th of Tesla batteries.

Primus Power's EnergyPod2 20-year-life zinc-bromide flow battery offers 25 KW (kiloWatt) discharge capacity and 125 KWhrs (kiloWatthours) energy for 5 hours runtime at maximum-output.  Manufacturer's size specifications (feet): 5.9 width, 6.9 depth, 7.2 height; weight 9240 pounds.
