    sodium-ion is better than acid-lead in every use case (theoretically, when the tech reaches maturity), unlikely to beat lithium ion and others for the high-capacity/low weight type stuff but far as cheap/environmentally safe batteries goes sodium-ion should quickly dominate the field.

      Yeah, this kind of tech can actually be groundbreaking.

      10.000 charge cycles? You can imagine lot’s of new things with that. Maybe not a capitalistic quick buck but something bettering society.

      Also for what I have understood it’s wildly better than lipo etc when it comes to resource use, especially “rare” earth.

        10k charge cycles isn’t revolutionary. LFP do 8k and even then they just drop down to 80% of original capacity.

          For that price and energy density it IMO is

          You could load up your car at work (just a silly example) and use it up at night at home, without thinking of degrading your expensive batteries.
