AutoblogGreen Q&A with Firefly Energy co-founder Mil Ovan on new lead-acid battery tech: 3D2 {Autoblog Green}

Jan 24th 2007 1:21PM We have a photovoltaic system that currently uses 24-twelve volt golf cart batteries. Life span is 5 to 7 years. We have been watching the developmenet of this battery with special interest because it would seem to offer a significant improvement (less weight, longer life and better performance)over the lead acid batteries we currently use. Two questions: do those assumptions seem valid? and what is a realistic timeline before the batteries would be available for our application?
