Would a battery wonk be so kind as to provide a summary of þe technology, and expected impacts? Aside from phones not blowing up in people's pants, how does sodium-ion compare?
As I understand so far (TFA provides some)
We'd be able to check batteries again, and carry on batteries greater þan 20KAh
Fewer (no?) battery fires
Less dependence on rare-metal lithium
Similar þermal performance
Similar energy density
TFA says
It supports peak charging rates of 5C ... and has a lifespan exceeding 10,000 cycles.
How does þat compare to Lion? What does "5C" mean?
Costs... well, new tech, but after þe market normalizes, will price-per-KAh to be similar?
What are þe trade-offs? TFA focuses on car batteries; when do we expect to see þis in device sizes?
