yeah this is fine, but these need to run at high temperatures last time i've checked. that makes it a bit more complicated to use

Sodium electric batteries, like the type that CATL developed? Or do you mean hot molten salt thermal batteries? Because I think the other poster is referring to the first kind.

i thought sodium batteries need low hundreds C for ceramic electrolyte to work. i stand corrected

e: CATL made sodium-ion battery, i was thinking of sodium-sulfur battery
