Nov 15, 2011 at 21:41 comment added Russell McMahon 60-75 WH/l x 1000 l/m^3 x 5 = 300 - 375 kWh. | Actual = ess than that. 100 kWh =~ 30% of typical battery so yes, 100 kWh+. | I'd look very closely at Vanadium Redox battery if I was in that situation . For lead acd, using a large"tank" is something that nobody ever does. For Vanadium Redox it's exactly what they do.

Nov 14, 2011 at 16:28 comment added Patrik I think there was a misunderstanding. I don't got angry and definitely accept your advices. Prices are still debatable things. But certainly glad that there are experts who can help a lot.
Nov 14, 2011 at 14:05 comment added Russell McMahon @Patrik - I did not say or suggest "stupid". I did say "... at best impractical and liable to be neat to impossible." I still consider this to be the case. |By all means investigate battery construction further but expect that a moderately conventional solution is MOST likely (not certain) to make most sense. LA batteries will be made in Turkey now.Cost of lead and acid and other components and labor will be major factors. Talk to battery makers and find what they say the issues are.
Nov 14, 2011 at 12:50 comment added Patrik In my country and I think elsewhere batteries are not cheap. So, why not build something with your hands. Experimenting I will surely come up with something.
Nov 14, 2011 at 12:39 comment added Patrik Thank you for your response. I searched the internet but wanted to know opinions from most valuable specialists in the field. When I asked this question I was very serious. When we are talking about energy crises we all have to think in that way. So how to produce, contain and transport electrical energy in the cheapest way possible ? I was thinking about a cheapest method to build an electrical energy container to contain enough energy to sustain heating in winter and cooling in summer at least a little. So I don't think the idea is stupid.
