Comment on Drowning in grid scale batteries
logi@lemmy.world 4 days agoYou really can’t though. The batteries both have a capacity (kWh/MWh) and discharge power (kW/MW) rating, but it’s usually the capacity that is the limiting one. And for extra fun, the discharge power goes up as the battery has more charge, and the charging rate goes down.

It’s just a rating. All cells are rated for some given amount of amps, but you can actually exceed that rating in bursts.
So I’m jokingly pointing out that you can theoretically pull as many watts as you want.
You can turn a MWh of energy into a GW of power, as long as you compress it into a short enough duration.
The battery (or any part of the circuit) just won’t survive the event :D
