   this is the first instance i see of someone trying the sodium-ion chemistry (as opposed to the common lithium-ion or in our case, lithium iron phosphate) in a MNT Reform laptop: https://tiny.tilde.website/@lykso/112221544025551357

     @mntmn neat. I’m quite keen to see how those end up working, too!

     @mhoye what kind of mAh ratings have you seen?

     @mntmn Particularly considering lifepo4 batteries are totally unobtainium here in Canada, and some of the MaH ratings on the sodium-ion batteries I am seeing are bonkers.

     @mntmn The 18650-sized sodium-ion batteries are all in the 1300-1500 range, but some of the larger ones are both affordable-looking an claim 10aH+ Just gotta (checks notes) print a new mnt bottom case and rewire a few things.

     @mntmn What about sand batteries? I hear there be people testing those and they have potential far beyond that of most others. They also are made from extremely common materials supposedly.
