    anyone read that article?

    It has absolutely zero information in it. It’s a bunch of puffed up nothing. it’s a website called interesting engineering but there’s no engineering. it’s an article with zero technical information.

        This article says that the iron batteries cost is as low as $76.11 per kWh, but lithium ion prices are $108 per kWh right now. I have no idea how they got to 80x cheaper in that headline

        Edit: I think they’re just saying that the cost of raw iron is 80x cheaper than the cost of raw lithium by weight. That’s really deceptive

          Are they including the price over time if they last significantly longer than the lithium batteries?

            16 years, that’s similar to the expected lifetime of lithium solar batteries.

          It’s from 2022, so the OP article is about more recent developments I think.
