Very interesting and exciting. I've seen many articles on 'new battery chemistry', this is one of the few that seems to cover all the bases. For example, some mention how much better energy density they have than lithium, but they don't really mention its either not rechargeable, or the cycle life is horrific. That doesn't seem to be the case here. They seem to have improved this battery in almost every way. I will say 1200 cycles doesn't seem anything to brag a ton about, but its certainly not bad.
