Any news on this? I am very interested in LTO for home solar/UPS grid-tie systems, due to their ridiculously high charge and discharge rates, high safety, efficiency, and massively high cyclic life. They should in theory age-out or become obsolete LONG before the panels themselves. LTOs are usually warrantied for 15 to 30 years and claim it can last 30+, and cyclically over 50. I want to see if this is true enough to make them a better long-term investment for solar, so you don't have to swap out and maintain as much. Plus they're now selling these 50CC impulse, 30CC continuous cells. I figure a 48v 20Ah pack should be able to handle an I/O of 960w or so for $300-400. Since I intend to use them as a UPS for the constant brownouts and power blips, and thus don't need whole-day capacity, with solar as a secondary backup input, I think they'll do much better and be more economical and efficient than even LFP. And already having tried with a $240 100Ah AGM, I can confirm those are not suitable for whole-house, or even whole-room (it could handle ~360w before major issues arose).
