I got a LIPO4 battery to run my tiny plastic boat or canoe with a trolling motor, most amazing performance I've ever seen. Hours of full thrust, never dropped below 20% power. So what's up with that tech?
10.000 charge cycles.
And cheaper, hopefully.
I think it will displace lead acid use case first where its lighter in the same form factor and more resilient in cold. Already seeing small engine batteries. You can buy a car battery today on amazon but i understand it doesn't play welll with alternator regulators, but that can change with retrofits or automakers adapting smarter regulators.
