“The new cells operate at 3.7 volts and are reported to have exceeded performance expectations, demonstrating &quot;a practical path to achieve a gravimetric energy density of 160-180 Wh&#x2F;kg.&quot; Though this is up there with typical LFP packs currently in the wild, it still lags behind the next-gen CATL Shenxing Plus batteries – which top out at 205 Wh&#x2F;kg. In a straight performance shootout, it&#x27;s even farther behind the lithium batteries in the lab as well as 4680 cells found in Tesla&#x27;s electric vehicles, for example.”<p>So not there yet energy density wise, but a real product for once!
