Ehh.... Lithium batteries are going to be around for quite a while even if sodium ion batteries take off. It's just more energy dense than sodium ion, so it's always going to be better for things like portable electronics.

Sodium ion might take over the market for heavier batteries like stationary power banks.

Sure, not saying they're going away, just that investment in the new option would be how I would spend my money.
