“[It’s] the most durable battery ever invented,” says Jorg Heinemann. Nickel-hydrogen batteries, he says, can last for 30,000 charge cycles, are fireproof, and outperform lithium-ion batteries on a number of key metrics for energy storage at the large scale.

I'm a fan of the Rondo battery for grid storage and for an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for grid storage, but this is pretty cool too.
