It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

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.
