Whenever you see a cell chemistry with metallic lithium in the anode, watch out! They tried that 50 years ago, the result was unexpected dendrite growth after many years, causing cell short-circuit, fire, and loss of life and property.
Bona fide new cell chemistry ready to go in and displace the existing leaders could easily be another 50 years away! We have not had a new real leader in cell chemistry emerge since lithium ion emerged 50 years ago, just basically incremental improvement. It's like saying the car might not be the best bet for a vehicle that you can drive. Sure, a flying car would be better, if it existed.

- CyberDildonics 3y agoI have no idea what you're trying to say or if you're being sarcastic. There are multiple battery chemistries including lithium iron phosphate (7x cycle lifetime), lithium titanate (50x cycle life or more) and sodium ion (potentially cheaper) that are all on the market to buy right now, not to mention lithium polymer batteries and all the refinements and variations out there.
