How promising are lithium-air batteries (have heard some stuff about them recently but know virtually nothing about them)?
Also, is there any sort of truth to the claim that battery technology is a huge limiting factor in technological advancement in recent times? For example, lead acids are still around (although they're pretty much phased out by lithium-ions at this point, from what I understand) and they were invented in the goddamn 19th century.
