A flow battery separates the power portion (the electronics, electrodes, pumps, etc) from the energy portion (tanks, fluid). Which is not so amazing for a car or a UPS where you want tens of minutes to a few hours of charge or discharge time, but is potentially great for grid use, where a discharge time of days to months is useful.
