5x to 10x the energy density of lithium batteries?
Nope I'm calling BS on that.
The most energy dense chemical storage know to man that isn't too weird and could be useable is to oxidize aluminum with oxygen from the air. It's about 4 or 5 times the energy density of lithium batteries.
So when someone one says "my battery is 3, 5 or 10 times more energy dense than current batteries" the laws of physics say you should be skeptical.
