Main advantage of sodium batteries: no volatile components.
I'm willing to take a capacity hit if the battery can survive a hit or puncture without exploding.
Yesterday I spent time cleaning junk drawers to find an expanded & bloated lithium ion battery pack that was still holding a charge. Went straight into a fireproof battery bag.
Can't wait til that's a thing of the past.
Also, sodium is far more sustainable plus abundant compared to lithium.

Then throw it in a full bathtub!!
