That sounds like a great advancement, but it seems to me that the future is going to be in sodium, not lithium. Lithium is lighter and probably "better", but it's also relatively rare and expensive. Sodium is common and cheap. If we're ever going to have electric vehicles (including boats) we're going to have to have an affordable battery.
