   *I wonder if people might buy sodium batteries because they're considered somehow "classier" than lithium batteries

     @bruces I was going to say maybe they aren't as explody, but then I remembered high school chemistry class.

     @bruces I was looking at them as they start to appear simply because I've got some places that could do with batteries but which are on an exit route where I do not want a lithium one because of the fire risks (mostly risks if there is a source of fire that ignites it rather than self combustion). Price needs to drop a load though.

     @bruces "Lithium...? That's so... 2024...!"

     Or maybe "Lithium...? Please! This is 2025!"

     (Or something...?)
