Very Very Lucky!
Promises promises or just waffle? The American one I have mentioned is still at or close to a very nice year high. Toj0 might have been clever to wait and lurk perhps?
Writing about solid-state batteries feels like waiting for a train that’s always five minutes away, but it never actually arrives. Automakers have been developing these ‘holy grail’ batteries for years, but we’re yet to see a real-world mass-market application.
The bold claims, however, continue to land much faster than the tech itself. But what their makers intend to do with this technology can speak volumes as well. At the recently concluded Japan Mobility Show, Toyota said that its solid-state batteries are designed to last 40 years.
If that’s true, that would be about 2.7 times the average age of a passenger vehicle in the U.S. as of 2025, which now stands at 14.5 years according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Could do but I think the point we're at now we're just trying to keep it as original as possible. I keep a really close eye on it. Like I've said before, whenever I push it out and hook up the battery I like to have a clear retreat point and a direct line to the fire extinguisher

4x4 Firestryker - The Technology
they look deeply impressive in the demonstrations. I have one friend who's Citroen DS19 burnt (a late 50's model, rare and almost impossible to find). He had an extinguisher with him, it lasted such a short time he couldn't put the fire out (they exhaust very quickly ). the firesticks sound like a potassium generator ... if it lasts 100seconds ... and you have two. If that doesn't put the fire out, well, nothing was going to! Two of these woudl be about 3 minutes of fire fighting rather than the 20 seconds you might get from a car extinguisher.

Very interesting. Expensive but seems quite different to a normal FE. Will have a look into it.

The fire authorities around here are saying over 90% of lithium battery fires are caused by either the wrong charger being used,or a cheap charger and or equipment, bought on line.
Using the correct charger for the correct equipment is a must.
They are not talking about vehicle fires.
