It breaks the "laws of batteries" until it doesn't. Has everyone lost their memory retention? Maybe everyone on HN is Software centric and hardware hobbyist. Fair enough. Big things coming in the battery space. https:/&

I've scanned through twitter, they have users driving hours to try to buy them. I'm confident people are super excited. Being in the consumer electronics space myself, it takes about 80% of expected sales as capital to get anythin
