   Iron Battery Breakthrough Could Eat Lithium's Lunch   
      
   Iron-flow technology from ESS is being deployed at scale in the U.S.   
      
   ...   
   ...   
   SB Energy Corp., a U.S. renewable-energy firm that+IBk-s an arm of Japan+IBk-s   
   SoftBank Group Corp., is making a record purchase of the batteries   
   manufactured by ESS Inc. The Oregon company says it has new technology   
   that can store renewable energy for longer and help overcome some of   
   the reliability problems that have caused blackouts in California and   
   record-high energy prices in Europe.   
      
      
      
   Note - I seem to remember flow battery tech available some five years   
   ago...for power plant grade installations.  At that time, I thought   
   this tech was more ideal than lithium.
