Edison Batteries
Hi Folks, Has anyone considered using Edison Batteries? (Nickle Iron). http://ironedison.com/ and http://www.zappworks.com/index.htm A FAC page here: http://ironedison.com/technical-...

Hi,
Thanks for trying to research this chemistry.
The problem is that Nickle has always been expensive, compared to lead, so even if Edison cells are "better" they are not, in the short term, cheaper.
I'm reminded of our qwerty keyboards that are no longer necessary. Yet very few folks make the switch to dvorak, which would boost average typing speeds by 20%.

I did a search for an hour or so trying to get good performance data on these "Edison" variants and (snip) My gut tells me that as well researched as the technology is being well over 100 years old, the batteries would be widely used by now if the reality could live up to the hype.
