Hours, not days, then put in twenty times as much batteries.

Economically unfeasible. Please don’t just say stuff, it’s tedious.

For this reason, sulfur-based lithium ion batteries can only be charged and discharged a limited number of times.

Is the issue here unbeatable? The advancements in battery life for smart phones (I know, lithium ion, so I’m not conflating the two types here) and in Tesla’s has had as much to do with the improvements to smart charging methods (in Tesla’s case, AI applied to the data obtained during charging cycles of their batteries).

I notice you leave out the two Jacobson solution, 17x turbines at hydropower plants, and storage at CSP.

But that is what we will get so long as the meme that renewables intermittency should be offset by batteries remains in play. But since batteries are good for hours, not days, the actual role they can play in dealing with renewable intermittency is quite limited. Until the seasonal solar issue is addressed (PHES, grid interconnections, wind overbuild, prayer) then prototype battery tech discussions are interesting, but not essentially much more encouraging than contemplating the shortcomings of LiION (recharge lifecycle factor in long-term cost).

I also saw this battery story today:
