When thinking about the biggest utility-scale energy storage installations, a huge cylindrical lithium ion battery powered light bulb may go off in your head. But what if I told you the world\u2019s largest battery taps into water rather than lithium? Can an old technology, even one still learning new tricks, be the answer?
