Well the fun thing about that breakthrough is that the cycle life will probably increase by a factor of 10 or more, not to mention that the improved cathode design will help calender life quite a bit. I'm guessing 10 years plus.

The improvements have really picked up speed this last year.

Then there's also the problem with locating sufficient quantities outside of Bolivia.

Hasn't that mostly been addressed, at least in the short term (10-15 years).
