The sodium 18650s are available on Alibaba for a few weeks :)

And for re-use my "extra" batteries are all interchangeable or able to be put to use elsewhere when the bike isn't in use. ( I've been considering an inverter for power outages).

    Btw what are sodium 18650s? A new safer version?

    Cheaper ( like 1/3? ), last longer ( more discharge /charge cycles ), can safely drain to 0.

    I mean you personally may be able to reuse them, but most people just throw their old escooter (or whatever) away when they get a new one, or at best resell it or donate it.

    Image how cheap a new ebike could be if you only had to swap the batteries from your old one
