« A design in which spent electrolyte can be replaced, the fastest option, or the battery could be directly recharged, though that takes longer. Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity. »

Betteridge’s law: No.
Technical answer:
1) No, they can‘t.
2) Who cares about Li? The future of battery storage is sodium.
Every 48-72 hours, a new quantum breakthrough in battery design. It’s just dizzying.
Of course, none ever makes it to production.
Oh I almost forgot: “50 H2-fueled vans flood the streets of Bavaria as BMW and Hyundia go **all-in** on Hydrogen!”
