They REALLY need to stop calling these batteries "huge" and "giant" when they are a fraction of the output of the smallest operating nuclear units, which are considered small, though I expect nothing less from the likes of "Reneweconomy" and "Cleantechnica".
The latter project there, 1 hour (complete discharge) of 200MW would have done what exactly to prevent the blackouts? NOTHING! They lost a 1,200MW nuclear unit for a stint and even that was almost negligible.
I have a strong suspicion that these storage projects are pitched as solutions to politicians who have absolutely zero understanding as to the system being discussed and the scale of resources required.
Just a quick example:

That's wind failing to meet projections by almost 10,000MW. Tell me what a 200MW battery that can fart into the grid for less than an hour is going to do to help with that?
