Re: They are using Fluence Gridstack

They are identified as:

Battery Supplier / Module

CATL / LFP-280LC

These are LiFePO4 batteries from CATL, their 280Ah cells in a liquid cooled frame, as I already suspected would be used.

Lower cost per usable kWh than lead-acid.

Cycle life of 8000 when charging fully and discharging to below 5%.

If they cycle between 20% and 80% cycle life will increase dramatically.
