This might a game changer in so many ways for camping and house holds,  if they realy can supply them cheap enough https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/08/dead-set-legends-australian-scientists-just-worked-out-how-zinc-air-batteries-can-replace-lithium-ion-batteries/

Couple of 120Ah batteries the size of a can of coke - brilliant if they can get it to market. Bet we lose this IP to some foreign interest  :-[

What about lead crystal batteries.

Have sussed out Lead Crystal vs Lithium [for golf carts] LC are actually heavier than Wet Cell lead acid.... if you are looking for a weight saving Lithium are the way to go IMHO

Sorry Bird, there is no way I can manage 83 pages, but BS........I can roll that out like joint at a hippie bar...........

I knew a bloke once who bought a cat off a lady who's cousin sold a car to this bloke who had a mate, and his sister married a guy who had a friend who bought a battery once so............... He told me that........

Nah just kidding!!!! As if anyone would talk to me!

(On a side note though - I am a sparky who does solar and have installed some awesome batteries!!!!) google "elmofo" mmmmmmmmmmmm powerporn!!! ;D
