Edison's 1901 BATTERY Still Works After 100 Years — Why Did We Stop Making It? (No Lithium!)

Edison's 1901 BATTERY Still Works After 100 Years — Why Did We Stop Making It? (No Lithium!) Can Thomas Edison's 1901 battery really keep working after 100 years? And if this old nickel-iron battery technology can last so long, why did we move away from it? In this video, we take a closer look at Edison's nickel-iron battery, also known as the Edison battery, and examine how this century-old energy storage technology compares with modern lithium batteries. We'll explore its construction, charging behavior, practical output, and whether it still makes sense for off-grid power and emergency backup systems. ⚡ How much usable power can an Edison battery actually deliver? 🔋 Why can nickel-iron batteries last so long, and what are their weaknesses? 🏠 Could this old battery technology work for home backup during a blackout? 🛠️ What would a practical setup cost, and is it worth considering today? Watch until the end to see the real numbers. Would you choose a long-lasting nickel-iron battery over a modern lithium battery for your home? Let me know in the comments.
