"They tested the compound in a small electrochemical cell. It worked well and remained stable over 275 charge/discharge cycles. "We need to bring this up to thousands of cycles; however, our experiments are a proof of concept. It is possible to make a symmetrical flow battery that has good stability." The organic Blatter radical is relatively easy to make and although it is currently not produced in industry, scale-up should be possible"
