A Sodium Ion battery would be great for cellphones.

So, Sodium has less energy density, about 50~70% that of lithium, but it can be run 100% to 0% every day for several thousands of cycles instead of lithium losing 20% after 300-500 cycles. That'll likely outlast the phone. Never need to open it up for a replacement due to a weak or dying battery.

It can be charged 0~100% in 5~6 minutes, with no ill effects. That's 240W for a typical 20Wh battery. If you're away from home, use any laptop charger, that'll be 65w+ instead of the 5~45w. Doesn't slow down half way either, like lithium phones must, full speed the whole time.

Runs 90% capacity at -40 ℃, can handle 80 ℃ so no thermal throttling needed for battery health,

If you take the advice of running your lithium battery under 80% down to 20%… you've effectively got the same capacity as the sodium battery without the benefits.

Hey y'all, I got myself a USB c 10ah battery case for my op12, and it works to charge up my battery fine at 5v2a, but when I try to use system wide bypass charging, it constantly fails to take hold as is. I got a female-female adapter and connected it with an ordinary cable and suddenly it works flawlessly delivering a stable bypass experience letting the phone's internal battery 'rest' rather than charging or discharging. the cable has something that the case itself does not that allows this stability. What could it be and is it possible to diy retrofit?

Thanks!
