Some quick research suggests it has 7-8% more power density than the best modern lithium batteries while using less rare earth metals (probably not by a huge degree but its something) and being less prone to exploding.
Thanks. Sounds like an important incremental improvement rather than a paradigm shift kind of thing.
Yeah, that's a really good density. My bike stores about that amount and it takes 5kg or so, just a quick guesstimate.
