They are a natural fit for this application. See John Peterson's articles, in particular: http://seekingalpha.com/article/120764-doe-report-lithium-ion-batteries-are-not-ready-for-prime-time Advanced Lead acid batteries will be much more cost effective where size is not a critical factor.

Let's get the electric car out of the workshop and onto the market. Every car battery plugged into the line, can function as a storage device for the grid when it's not on the road.

Solar, wind, tides all experience variations that will benefit from the smoothing effect of storage devices.
