A Marlborough, Massachusetts, startup has made an organic flow battery that can rival lithium -ion packs for grid-level storage, according to TechCrunch. The innovation provides for a variety of perks, including a "capital cost [that] should be ultra low," XL Batteries co-founder Tom Sisto said.

[pdf] A flow battery, or redox flow battery (after ), is a type of where is provided by two chemical components in liquids that are pumped through the system on separate sides of a membrane. inside the cell (accompanied by current flow through an external circuit) occurs across the membrane while the liquids circulate in their respective spaces.
