In the system, the total energy capacity, measured in kilowatt-hours, is determined entirely by the volume of the electrolyte and the size of the external tanks. A larger tank simply holds

The energy storage capacity of a flow battery can be easily increased by adding larger tanks to store more electrolyte. This is a key advantage over solid-state batteries, like lithium-ion,

These cells can be connected in series or parallel to achieve the desired power capacity, while the tanks can be scaled to achieve the desired energy capacity. This design allows for flexible scaling of both
