this is the first instance i see of someone trying the sodium-ion chemistry (as opposed to the common lithium-ion or in our case, lithium iron phosphate) in a MNT Reform laptop: https://tiny.tilde.website/@lykso/112221544025551357

@mntmn I am very interested in this.

@mntmn neat. I’m quite keen to see how those end up working, too!

@mntmn Particularly considering lifepo4 batteries are totally unobtainium here in Canada, and some of the MaH ratings on the sodium-ion batteries I am seeing are bonkers.

@mhoye what kind of mAh ratings have you seen?

@mntmn The 18650-sized sodium-ion batteries are all in the 1300-1500 range, but some of the larger ones are both affordable-looking an claim 10aH+ Just gotta (checks notes) print a new mnt bottom case and rewire a few things.

@pavel @mntmn sodium ion is safer, using much cheaper materials (they could finally cost 1/10 of a Li-Ion-cell regarding price/capacity, if they enter mass production in numbers oft li-ion), Temperature range from -20 to 60 °C (or even higher?), no conflict materials. It's better than Li-Ion in every way but the capacity/weight&volume.
