The distinction that must be made is that vanadium batteries cannot power devices like laptops or cell phones like lithium-ion can. However, for large-scale energy generation, it is used because it can be recharged thousands of times without dying like lithium-ion batteries. The only issue is "low energy density".

South Korea-based H2, Inc will deploy a 1.1MW/8.8MWh vanadium flow battery (VFB) in Spain in a government-funded project. The project will be commissioned by the government energy research institute, CIUDEN, as part of a programme funded by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge of Spain.
Since the original all-vanadium flow battery (VFB) was proposed by UNSW in the mid-1980s, a number of new vanadium-based electrolyte chemistries have been investigated to increase the energy density beyond the 35 Wh l −1 of the original UNSW system. of the original UNSW system.
Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) developer Enerox, better known by its CellCube brand, has set up a subsidiary in Colorado, US, to bring its product to the North American market. It established CellCube Inc. in Denver on 4 May in response to what it calls the "…exploding market demand in North America for long-duration energy storage".
Vanadium batteries are at a much earlier stage of commercialisation than lithium, making the ESO fundamentally a demonstrator project with multiple, complementary aims.
