Five Of These In Series?

One can just do a simple perusal of this website for the reason certain technologies aren't adopted en masse in the consumer space. Ask someone here whether or not they would use a lithium ion battery in their RV. $100 says the words fire and explosion would be used frequently. We are our own worst enemy.

The internet was started more than a quarter century earlier. What is the percentage of users who do not use the internet SOLELY for shopping and entertainment? What's the percentage of our work force NOT engaged in service businesses?

Better fuel cells or perhaps the holy grail of cold fusion is in the future of power generation

Quoting:

". . . the USA has fallen into a secondary consumer service oriented industry."

Oh boy. You're talking about that Internet thing we invented, right?

"FREE" electrons take up lots of space, like charges repel each other

The last time I looked: Atoms missing their electrons and electrons missing their atoms were very small, and plates can be made from very thin materials in this nano-world we now live in, and a vacuum doesn't need to take up much room when merely holding off 11-13 volts DC.

Where's the Group 31 size farad box that can deliver over and over again during my lifetime 120 amps at 12.7 volts for an hour? I guess India, or Russia, or China, or Taiwan, or SpaceX, or Tesla ... will have to come up with this? :h and :R

Liquid fuel, solid fuel, chemical batteries

Nothing yet competes on " energy stored in the same amount of space"

That my friends is the kicker
Capacitors store raw electronics
Chemical oxidation conversion creates energy from "MASS"
Big difference

The military uses literally hundreds of tons of ultracapacitors. But what you wrote seenyore pnichols is another chink in the wall of proof the USA has fallen into a secondary consumer service oriented industry. Computers, and toy gizmos are really the only tech items unmatched by other countries

I threw out my electro-chemistry and capacitor construction books a long time ago, but it seems a mystery to me how ... in this day-N-age of Lithium and maybe Ruthenium batteries and nano-bots and Higgs boson particles ... that the powers that be who haven't thrown away their books can't come up with a process to pack enough farads into a small enough space and at high enough DC voltage such that electro-chemistry batteries are no longer needed at all in a bunch of applications.

I'm not talking about farad boxes to merely "start vehicles" like the hobbyists mess with on YouTube. I'm talking about farad boxes as the only type of electrical energy storage in the vehicle.

If your wiring from the batteries to the inverter was undersized, or the battery bank itself, I could see a benefit in handling starting loads. With respect to the OP.
