Linking with Eq. 22, the higher the current, the greater the flow rate needed; therefore, the pressure losses will increase, implying a higher need for pump power. This probably directly limits the value of the flow factor. Knowing the optimum flow factor for battery operation is of great interest to optimize battery efficiency.
