One must appreciate the power of mass production. Technically these Sodium batteries should be way cheaper than Li batteries. But they are not. Since those are not produced en-masse.
No reason to buy this for 4x the price of Li power banks.

In low temperature applications sodium-ion batteries have a clear advantage over other battery types however the costs need to come down for any adoption of them.

Given that LFP batteries are readily available, have more charge cycles and are safer than Li batteries they are currently the go-to chemistry for many applications.

However, much like their Li counterparts LiFEPO4 (LFP batteries can't accept a charge current at around freezing temperatures or below.

Many industries are waiting on the mass production of the so-called 'solid state' batteries for many reasons.

Quote from: Fierce.XT on Today at 01:21:08I was imagining that something like this would appear.

But it's still not clear what the advantage is of using cheap and abundant sodium instead of lithium, the end product is more expensive than the Lipo/LFP equivalent.

Early adopter tax while they recoup development costs. Ultimately this will need to be cheaper, not just safer. It'll be heavier due lower power density. As more and more of these come online, competition will also drive down prices.

I would not rush out an buy one as they offer no compelling reason to upgrade yet. Might be great for home battery due to the much lower risk of fire

The Elecom sodium-ion mobile power bank provides users with higher safety, better low-temperature performance, and less environmental waste than lithium-ion alternatives.
