weight weight weight size size size. It's that important.

And if you don't care about weight and size, there are better and cheaper options than lithium anyway.

I've been designing and building an ebike, and were at the point where even if I threw out weight and size off the equation there's not really anything better than Li-ion for capacity at significant C-rates versus price.
