“The new cells operate at 3.7 volts and are reported to have exceeded performance expectations, demonstrating "a practical path to achieve a gravimetric energy density of 160-180 Wh/kg." Though this is up there with typical LFP packs currently in the wild, it still lags behind the next-gen CATL Shenxing Plus batteries – which top out at 205 Wh/kg. In a straight performance shootout, it's even farther behind the lithium batteries in the lab as well as 4680 cells found in Tesla's electric vehicles, for example.”

So not there yet energy density wise, but a real product for once!
