So, we're talking about a battery technology that is:
-Just as heavy as regular Lead-Acid
-Just as costly as Lithium (but could decrease in price)
-More finicky on overcharge than standard LA-although not as much as Lithium-but just fine for months at full disharge
-Robust enough not to need BMS, better life cycle than LA (not quite up to Lithium yet) and no Sulphation issues?
If my understanding of the tech is accurate, and I were part of this company...then my marketing goals would be the replacement of all the standard Lead-Acid Deep Cycle market-Marine batteries, Golf Carts, RVs, stationary power supplies etc. If there are enough early adopters to the 'more expensive but far superior, and with no mods to your existing device' market, then Firefly could start something I would seriously like to see! I definitely wouldn't try to compete in the Electric Vehicle market with them though-Weight is King there, lack of expensive BMS notwithstanding...
I'm not exactly swimming in money(haven't had full time employment for over a year) but having just sold my house and purchased a gently used RV, I would be happy to be an early adopter of at least two or three of these. I've already set a budget aside to Ecomod my 29' Jayflight with LED bulbs, injected Closed cell foam between the walls and another Soupcan Solar Thermal Unit (I left the originals with the house so the new owners could enjoy Frugal Heat) so i'm sure I can take the money hit in the hopes that the next ones will be far cheaper...
So is there an ETA on battery availability, and will they be available for individual as well as bulk purchases? More importantly, have the Firefly performance claims been verified yet?
