This would be really nice to see. I started looking into emerging battery tech eight or ten years ago, and was really excited-- between approaches using compressed air storage (ha), liquid metal, saltwater, molten salt and new ways of using cobalt, I was convinced consumer price per kWh was about to be slashed in half by someone, somewhere, at least for stationary battery arrays.
Since then, most of my enthusiasm about potential new products, bundles and kits that could be driven by this has steadily evaporated as consumer price per kWh for actual, usable power storage has more or less held steady. At this point I'm just as curious what's keeping it stuck there as I am about what we could do if it wasn't.
