Toyota EV-30 concept (c1987)
a small electric prototype with zinc-bromide batteries.
it was designed for use in shopping malls or at resorts.

Z inc-bromide batteries? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of those before.
To Wikipedia !
Drawbacks include:
The need to be fully discharged every few days to prevent zinc dendrites that can puncture the separator.
The need every 1–4 cycles to short the terminals across a low-impedance shunt while running the electrolyte pump, to fully remove zinc from battery plates.
Low areal power (<0.2 W/cm 2 ) during both charge and discharge, which translates into a high cost of power
Yeah, I can see how that’s bad for a consumer product.

that won’t end well for some consumers.

Yeah, considering how many people have issues changing oil or even filling windshield washer fluid, asking them to “short the terminals across a low-impedance shunt while running the electrolyte pump” seems like asking for trouble.

Seems like you could do the battery maintenance automatically especially for applications where there would be a known downtime (overnight or whatever).
