New sodium-ion battery skips mechanical cooling with 97.9% efficiency
I’ve been hearing about these for a few years now. Huge if they work out at a large scale.

Any info about energy density?

According to Wikipedia:
Looks like power to weight it much higher, while energy per volume and energy per mass is comparable to existing lithium ion batteries.

No, the energy to volume is much less.

See, that’s what I thought, but the wiki article seems to disagree.
Or am I just misreading something?
