thats fine but I found out about it from a guys youtube where he ordered one and put it to the test. the guys channel has mostly been about his construction of a super efficient house with batteries and solar and such so I trust it exists as a product. not saying to anyone to buy it but was just showing they exist and are being sold. its not a wait and see battery technology anymore.

I have no doubts it exists as a product. I have doubts about its battery. I'd like a big transportable battery backup device, but I wouldn't want to spend over $1,000 on such a thing if they battery is bad after 10 years. I can buy a gas generator for $500 and it will work fine for over 20 years without an issue. The battery just makes it much more convenient since there's no worry of running out of gas and it's silent and runs indoors.

So its like the first thing out from this tech and the point of this tech is longer lasting batteries. Well and lighter. Anyway, again, the point is the tech is here.

The tech is here. I don't believe that it's in that psu.

Are you talking about Matt Ferrel from Undecided?

Yeah....he doesn't know a lot about batteries, really. He's also doubled back after having some battery teardown reports shown to him and now says it doesn't seem likely yoshino is using a real solid state battery.

So no. It isn't likely "yoshino" gets to be the first to market with a real solid state battery in their product.
