Weight Isn’t the issue with sodium batteries, the weight (relative to lithium).

  For grid storage and renewable storage, weight hardly matters.

  According to the article the main use of sodium based replacements would be in places where weight/size isn’t as much of an issue.

  Lithium is only a small percentage of weight like 10%.

    And the lead in a lead acid battery is like 80% of the weight of that battery. This isn't really relevant, because the batteries being discussed are not "a lithium battery but with the lithium replaced by sodium". It's a whole new battery chemistry.

  Weight doesn't really matter for fixed uses. Only mobile (read auto) uses)
