I'm carefully optimistic. A new "battery tech breakthrough" is reported on every few months without anything coming out of it, but solid state batteries has been talked about for a while and might be the one to actually take over for LiPo (in some circumstances, at least). The tech looks promising, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this technology matures.

This is more than a "breakthrough" IMO. Manufacturers have been eyeing and researching solid states for a long time now. It's not just a lab toy.

And according to the article, some of these are going on sale later this year.
