Lithium is at one end, but we could work on the other end to get the greatest difference.
It’s a relative scale. Hydrogen was just chosen as 0, but that’s an arbitrary choice.
Looking forward to lithium-fluoride or lithium-gold batteries.

But current batteries use metal compounds, where the metal itself is never completely oxidized or reduced. Those are much easier to design, as you can simply place an ion exchange membrane separating the poles. AFAIK, nobody has any idea how a metal-halogen battery would work.
Electronegativity is the tendency of elements to hold onto elements in a chemical bond, which determines the primary character of a bond (ionic or covalent) as well as things like dipole moments. What you actually want is redox potential, how much energy you can get out of reducing or oxidizing an ion in the reduction or oxidation half-reaction.

I mean, space stuff happening is fun and I like it. But if it was cheaper to do it through NASA, on even the famously expensive Space Shuttle, what's the point of all of this?
Tesla's stuff is all minor in comparison.

(Disclosure: I'm from Orlando and almost certainly somehow biased towards the shuttle program, not that I don't think it wasn't an inherently flawed idea. It was an awesome inherently flawed idea. So I actually do understand the fanboyism at play. I just liked NASA's "cool" better than Musk's "sexy." The stuff they've been pulling off remotely on other planets is more impressive than anything Musk is doing. I feel like we're picking corporate propaganda over American propaganda and I don't like it.)
Thanks for the warning but I'm trying to save the huffiness for when people attack my own work. I've already got a backlog there, with just that alone.
I don't remember enough chemistry to do the above calculations. Someone does though, and they tell me that batteries won't get more than 4x smaller (I of course can't verify this claim - perhaps someone else can).
