This is an article about the company BigBattery.

"[font=ElizabethSerif, Georgia, serif]Eric Lundgren’s latest venture has quietly taken shape over the last year. It’s called [/font][font=ElizabethSerif, Georgia, serif]BigBattery[/font][font=ElizabethSerif, Georgia, serif], and the goal is simple: Buy up discarded lithium-ion batteries originally built to run electric cars, buses, and scooters, and recycle the parts into new batteries that can provide energy storage for home solar arrays, help stabilize electrical grids, and more."[/font]

[font=ElizabethSerif, Georgia, serif]I don't know if this means there will eventually be versions suitable for our nomadic needs, but it's an interesting situation to watch.[/font]
 
Lithium ion is dangerous. Its not the same as lifepo4 AT ALL.
 
Lifepo4 prices are dropping, but so far mostly for larger purchases.

I’m watching Alibaba and AliExpress.
 
Perhaps just as likely that your future home on wheels will be an EV vehicle :)
