" CATL has thrown its hat into the ring with the Naxtra sodium-ion battery, with 175 Wh/kg and 10,000 lifetime cycles along with operation from -40°C to 70°C. CATL is planning a start-stop battery for trucks using the technology. It has the potential to replace lead-acid batteries. CATL has announced battery pricing at the cell level in volume at $19/kWh.

    This is what I’ve been waiting for as residential battery solution. Really nice to see it starting to take off.

        Depends on how fast the technology can dump current. Lead acid is particularly good about dumping a ton of current to crank.
