Now we're talking, integrated, grounded (pun intended) flow.

Can we please get this out there? This could work so well!

Apparently now shipping sample batteries produced in his real, full-scale facility, a repurposed old Sony TV factory near Pittsburgh PA.

Appropriate solution to a big problem. Now scale will only justify the CAPEX USD/kW or USD/kWh . I am waiting for you in 2018 or 2019.

These batteries lost me a load of money and my reputation. I wanted to believe in the system and technology, so shipped a container of a few banks of their batteries across continents for rural hospital solar power systems. After less than a year they all failed, total loss and because the company is going bankrupt, no warranty or support! As I had (foolishly) guaranteed the systems, I had to buy new batteries (from another company) at my expenses... expensive lesson!

[@orioguy9]

What happened with the batteries? Did they stop holding a charge?

[@will1green]

I want to you your batteries and a part of my system

[@TheDennisgrass]

And now, the Chinese own this technology for 5% of the initial investment.

This guy is a scammer. His company is bankrupted. Lots of people lost lots of money. Also he wasted tax payers' money, millions.
