    Really hoping sodium-ion starts hitting the consumer market soon, I want drop-in lead-acid replacements. I know you can get LFP ones (and I have some) but I want even lower risk of fire because I sleep next to these things.

      I have mixed news for you. While sodium may be a bit safer than lithium, it’s still pyrophoric, meaning it reacts violently with water amplifying any fire.
