It has been a surprising 6 months since I last reported on this project. Shortly after reporting at 12 months the discharge rate increased significantly. It was a hot summer so perhaps that was the reason? With a sudden transition to cooler winter temperatures in the last few weeks the discharge rate has slowed and is now running at essentially the same rate it was prior to summer.
I had expected the discharge rate to plateau based on what I had seen with AG3 cells. However, it is yet to happen. At present the discharge rate for the last 12 months is 0.3 mV/day and the forecast life is 8.5 years. Hopefully the plateau does eventuate.
