Under Maintenance Free Batteries: "All competing Redox systems require some significant level of ongoing electrolyte management."

I don't think that's correct. While cross-contamination creates significant problems for most redox flow batteries, one class of redox flow battery, the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Vanadium_Redox_Batteries), is free of those problems because the two electrolytes consist of different oxidation states of the same element (vanadium) dissolved in sulphuric acid. So if they mix, there is no permanent damage to the battery. Simply repair the membrane, recharge and go.

Unless a good case can be made here that such claims for VRB are false, or that Plurion's battery requires less electrolyte management than a vanadium redox battery does, I'll remove the quoted sentence.

Disclosure: I have no connection to either Plurion or any other company that makes or sells batteries.
