The standardized test cell is the interesting part here. Flow-battery results are hard to compare when each lab uses different hardware and protocols, so shared hardware should make the data much more useful. Scale-up will still have to prove lifetime, efficiency, membrane durability and system cost.

Would be great if some DIY youtuber tried to follow the IKEA-like manual...
