Calculating the True Cost of Energy Storage
Most energy storage systems that use flow-batteries have round trip efficiencies of 75 percent or more, meaning that if you charge the battery with 100 kWh, you would be able to discharge 75 kWh of electricity from the battery.

Flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage | MIT Sustainability
Flow batteries: Design and operation. A flow battery contains two substances that undergo electrochemical reactions in which electrons are transferred from one to the other. When the battery is being charged, the transfer of electrons forces the two substances into a state that''s "less energetically favorable" as it stores extra energy.
