That's great. I hope they can scale it up and mass-manufacture it.

Pretty much every iron chemistry has failed to reach market. I reckon they're probably just blowing smoke.

I really want them to succeed for the sake of the planet, but it's another "revolutionary new battery just five years away" story.

They're one step ahead of the vaporware stuff you normally read about in that they are already operating at a scale worth noticing (no long lab level power but 100's of KW) and they are about to scale up to 5MW which will be a very important proof point if it can be done economically and reliably enough.

They're still shipping small volumes but ESS Inc. has at least delivered some of their iron-based flow batteries:
