You're forgetting that these batteries are going to be cheap because the compounds needed are readily available. This tech is not going to replace every lithium battery out there, but it's going to give consumers another, more economic choice vs lithium. Plus it's a safer technology than lithium.

They'll be cheap, but weighing more and taking up more space is not that viable of a trade off. Except for hybrid vehicles.
