“…What makes these batteries so attractive is that they do not degrade as an LI battery would. Thus, they have a significantly longer lifespan [57], and they are easily scalable-the size of the tanks just has to be increased (volume of electrolyte used) [60]. They are considered safer than LI as the electrolyte is not flammable, and consequently they do not experience thermal runaway; they also have a very low, almost zero, self-discharge due to the active materials being separated when they are not being used [27].…”

As renewable energy sources, such as solar systems, are becoming more popular, the focus is moving into more effective utilization of these energy sources and harvesting more energy for intermittency reduction in this renewable source. This is opening up a market for methods of energy storage and increasing interest in batteries, as they are, as it stands, the foremost energy storage device available to suit a wide range of requirements. This interest has brought to light the downfalls of batteries and resultantly made room for the investigation of ultra-capacitors as a solution to these downfalls. One of these downfalls is related to the decrease in capacity, and temperamentality thereof, of a battery when not used precisely as stated by the supplier. The usable capacity is reliant on the complete discharge/charge cycles the battery can undergo before a 20% degradation in its specified capacity is observed. This article aims to investigate what causes this degradation, what aggravates it and how the degradation affects the usage of the battery. This investigation will lead to the identification of a gap in which this degradation can be decreased, prolonging the usage and increasing the feasibility of the energy storage devices.
