The main advantages of the vanadium redox battery is that it can offer almost unlimited capacity simply by using larger and larger storage tanks, it can be left completely discharged for long periods with no ill effects, it can be recharged simply by replacing the electrolyte if no power source is available to charge it, and if the electrolytes are accidentally mixed the battery suffers no permanent damage.
That's great!
Well, you know more about this sort of stuff than I do. The MIT story caught my attention and yes - as you say - I would be fascinated to see how it mimics photosynthesis as well.
