Hear hear, the next breakthrough like the last 20 ones we had in the last ten years. Though it's still Li-Ion, LiFePo and plain old Lead Acid in practice.

- Schroedingersat 4y agoSodium ion is looking pretty promising.
- vardump 4y ago> Though it's still Li-Ion, LiFePo and plain old Lead Acid in practice. LiFePO4 is a type of lithium-ion battery. There are also plenty of others. In 20 years cost has decreased to a tiny fraction and gravimetric density (kWh/kg) has increased 3-4x.
- Tagbert 4y agoThe Li-Ion battery that you have today is much better than the one you had 10 years ago. All battery tech has been improving year over year for a couple of decades now. We just don’t notice because the yearly change is not so large. New chemistries don’t come into play as often as it takes longer to work out the details and to make them ready for wide spread use. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/05/eternally-five-years-away-no-batteries-are-improving-under-your-nose/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/05/eternally-five-years...
