52 kWh at 281 pounds.

Nice. If it ever materializes that is.

As much as I tend to be a fountain of puns (much to my family's chagrin), that one was accidental! (or maybe Freud slipped one in while I wasn't looking)

It certainly excels in both ways!

From the day the information on this first leaked I have felt this could definitely be a game changer and at a time we really could use one.

From a technological point I would be very interested in how to charge / discharge such a beast. What would be the self discharge? How much of a problem will this be? How efficient can the discharge process be having a wildly varying input voltage? How does this effect the power output? etc, etc, etc.

Perhaps one day we'll know.

The patent says it's on the order of 0.1% per month. If the pack stores 52kWh that means selfdischarge would be around 0.07W.

No problem there.
