~~50+ year battery consisting of nickel and iron plates~~ in ~~an electrolyte of Potassium Hydroxide (similar to lye~~ - ~~which I'm guessing you could substitute).~~

~~Thomas Edison drove an electric car a hundred years ago.~~

~~The batteries he used are easy to build and are still operational.~~

==Nickel Iron ~~Batteries==~~

~~Nickel-iron batteries have [http://www.beutilityfree.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=44&Itemid=129 50 year lifetimes~~]~~, compared to a few~~-year lifetime of lead acid batteries. They are environmentally more benign, and lend themselves to local recycling and fabrication. They have higher discharge rates and faster charge times than lead-acid batteries, so they lend themselves not only to off-grid power, but also to power electronics applications such as welding and heavy workshop power. Their energy density is half that of lead-acid batteries, but their long lifetime makes them highly relevant to the [[GVCS]], including to electric farming equipment as the next generation of [[LifeTrac]] infrastructure.
