I hate to be a gloomy Gus...But in a way I hate reading stories about breakthroughs like this, because it seems to take forever before they hit the production lines.
I’ve been watching and waiting for several to actually jhit the market at a decent price point. If they ever come to market ar all. Still lookin for my 25’ roll-up OLED TV screen for years and years now. and haven’t seen anyone marketing electric and heat co-generator home systems that run off of the natural gas line...Yep! It’s proven tech...you can get heat, cookinf=g and Electricity from one very efficient and inexpensive appliance hooked to your gas line.
OLED TVs too. They’re putting out that dinky 10” screen for 2K...one of OLEDs major factors for replacing LCDs, is they are actually MUCH CHEAPER to make!
Well, amybe I’ll still be alive to see these batteries in the supermarket...but I doubt it.

CORRECTION: that was supposed to read: 25” roll-up OLED TV.
I am still waiting for my personal jetpack and hovercar.
Usually they never hit the production line, because there is some major drawback that is never mentioned in the press releases.

Don’t feel bad. I’m still waiting for my ride on the Pan Am Clipper Shuttle to the Hilton Space Station. Should have been here over 6 years ago....still waiting.
