> Dumb clickbait aside, here's the scoop on lithium-free batteries. It's a big one. As much as I'd love to see it, "New Battery Tech(tm) Will Revolutionize <X>" has been going on for 20+ years. Something always gets in the way when they try to put these things in cars. Just putting Lithium batteries into cars took an enormous amount of engineering effort. And, as we are currently talking about, not without a bunch of engineering tradeoffs. Until one of these new technologies are in cars rolling down the road, I'm not going to hold my breath.
