I don't know when we may see them but I'm intrigued by the idea and wonder if they may result in the next evolution in battery sizing from the big stick packs, to now shorty packs and maybe with the advantages of solid state tech maybe we will see the super shorty form factor make a return and allow for changes in chassis packaging and lower car weights.

Was just interested in getting a conversation going about this and seeing what other people may think.
although not solid state I am interested in the new cell molicell are releasing.

I want to make a long inline 2 cell 2s pack but a side by side would make a shorty with only 140/150 grams and a bit narrower than a traditional shorty an 16mm shorter. @ 4800-5000mah. if you had a chassis with cell slots like the good old days could be 3mm lower too.
