Yeah, the cycle life is what I’m wondering about too. Lithium-ion’s been advancing on that front for years.

Should affect everything eventually if it takes off. Smaller devices could benefit a lot from cheaper, more sustainable batteries.

Didn’t know they were working on new battery types. Wonder how this will affect gaming laptops & gear in the future.

However, the potential for more cost-effective and abundant raw materials presents an intriguing proposition for future developments.

Does it mean cheaper batteries for stuff like phones and laptops too, or just big things like cars?

Seems a bit out there. Sodium’s good on paper but has its own set of challenges.

It’s about time we move away from rare and expensive minerals. Glad to see it’s being taken seriously.

The energy density and charge cycles need to be competitive. Anyone got more details on this?

This could be a huge win for our planet!
