@Thecarto, I think you are spot on.

Best wishes for today and in the future.

Numbers like that just blow my mind. Where is all that V coming from? Well, we know where some of it could come from.

CapaBlanca and NVHLtd showed themselves to be the worst sort of trolls ever to infest these parts. I for one am glad that they aren't here any more - oh wait! We get at least two reincarnations of Capa every week. Provocative, contrarian and aggressive, personally I can do without them.

I do note that there's not an engineer or scientist amongst them.

No, can't imagine, please enlighten me? :-)

It was no contest when the board went to bat for NM.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't suppose it matters one bit. It just shouldn't happen, unless the power stack is left flooded. The original question was, how long could a VRFB hold it's charge? My answer was, effectively for ever, then Drifter said that the rate of self-discharge was 2.5% per day. I queried this. As Alfacomp then pointed out, the rate of self-discharge will be effectively zero if the power stack is drained. So I stand by my original answer.

Where did you find those figures, Drifter? They both seem high to me. VRFB self-discharge should be effectively 0% over 24 hrs . How can electron movement take place when the electrolyte is in two separate tanks?

Short answer, it will keep for ever. Actually, it will keep for as long as the electrolytes stay in the system unmixed. You're more likely to spring a leak in the tanks or pipework than anything else.

I was going to say, that must be a swine to push across the gravel!

Finally, had enough of you, sorry. In the green bin.

@faramog, 1,100m = 1.1 billion, which was the figure Daisydog suggested. I did not ever equate that in my mind to the number of shares issued, hence my complicated sums.

Wish I'd never bothered :-)

But too complicated for me, obviously.

@knuttie, I have done no such thing. Someone suggested that offering to buyout for 1.1 billion might do it. I wondered what that would mean in terms of share price? So I divided current MCAP into 1.1 billion to work out a multiplier, presuming that an offer of 1.1 billion would equate to an MCAP of the same amount. Nowhere have I divided anything by number of shares.

OK, current MCAP is £154m according to LSE just now. 1,100m / 154m = 7.14. Current SP is 13.375p according to LSE just now. 13.375 x 7.14 = 95.5p (MCAP was slightly different when I did the calculation earlier)

That would value us at 94.3 pence a share if I've done my sums properly. That wouldn't be quite enough for me but it isn't far short of the mark.

All blackstart systems and UPSs I've worked with have been lead-acid, but that was 30+ years ago in most cases.

I'm still here. Have been since 2014, been invested since 2013. Can't lay claim to being the fount of all knowledge, however. My opinion hasn't changed in all that time. I still think this is a nailed-on certainty, even if it isn't happening as quickly as I expected or would have liked. I still hold over a million golden tickets and would buy more if funds permitted.

Keep the faith. You know it makes sense.
DYOR, GLA

I quite like Bugerov too.
