battery storage? how long do they last until they loose most capacity.

Pumped hydro doesn’t work in flat places. Pumped hydro makes up like 90% of current grid storage though.
About 10 years until they’re down to 80% capacity
LFP? Not even. Lots of LFP aren’t seeing even a 10% drop on 6000 cycles, which should be 20 years in normal use. Maybe really bad B-grade would be 20%.
Pumps a very inefficient
