The market thinks they have a chance. I bought some shares in the company and they have gone up nicely so far.

They require full discharge every 4 days to prevent damage to the battery.

Re: Gelion zinc-bromine batteries

any thoughts on whether they can / will be made small enough for marine use ?

cheers,
