This type of battery seems quite easy to DIY. Cheap materials, relatively safe, not flammable.

You can either maken individual cells or make a flow battery which is theoretically infinitely scalable. You’d be limited by the size of the electrode in how much power this battery can deliver.

Has anyone here tried to make a flow battery? And did you have any success with powering something large and energy consuming?

I guess it would also be possible to make a battery out of old buckets, carbon fiber mesh and separator material such as glass fiber.

        Instructions unclear, dock got stuck in acid.

        Jokes aside, my point is the “ermahgerd let’s build some batteries with buckets and wire”

      Lmao, do you drink your Li-po batteries as well?

      The typical dose needed to reach bromism (when talking about old bromide sedatives) is 0.5g-1.0g a day, the lethal dose of zinc bromide is 3-5g, those levels are not passive exposure levels, they’re intentional or very unlucky accidental ingestion levels
