They say they're going to put out a 1 watt version, that will open things up a little more. I've seen home servers (consumer hardware) that never consume more than ~20 watts. Not sure the price of these hypothetical future batteries but that could be very useful. If nothing else, it can offset electricity costs a little.

If they can get them to be affordable to offset the electricity costs, but I'm skeptical of this happening for a really long time.

1. The article mentions the next version is supposed to deliver 1 W

2. You can put a few of those for more power. The fact of not needing to replace it like ever justify the extra space, I think (and can maybe be offset a little by not having to have a charger)?

I'm looking forward to a power bank made of these. This would be epic.

I wonder if it can power the potato laptop : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35074233

I just want it to be sufficient to drop into some ESP32 boards, to make a place-and-forget LORA meshnet.

1 watt might be enough if they can deliver on that claim.
