In terms of safety, a flow battery has an operating system with fewer critical issues to manage than a lithium ion battery, which needs several control systems to avoid harmful overloading and overheating. Because of the specific technology, stored energy in and power supplied by flow batteries are not intrinsically linked.
Lithium-ion batteries have higher voltage than other types of batteries, meaning they can store more energy and discharge more power for high-energy uses like driving a car at high speeds or providing emergency backup power. Charging and recharging a battery wears it out, but lithium-ion batteries are also long-lasting.

Flow batteries: Design and operation A flow battery contains two substances that undergo electrochemical reactions in which electrons are transferred from one to the other. When the battery is being charged, the transfer of electrons forces the two substances into a state that’s “less energetically favorable” as it stores extra energy.
And almost all of the growth came from lithium-ion batteries — the same as those used to power electric cars. Along with wind turbines and solar panels, shipping containers full of these batteries are set to become a more common sight in the future.
Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design. In the everyday batteries used in phones and electric vehicles, the materials that store the electric charge are solid coatings on the electrodes.
