Are such solid state batteries suitable for cell phones and laptops, power tools (drills, saws) etc?

Are there conflicting engineering goals for batteries of small consumer appliances and vehicles?

Probably only a question of cost and fire risk. A solid state would be better for a phone, but the cost/weight/safety trade off might not be worth it there, by the time it is in a car (if it ever gets there)

Notable that electric car players are still innovating on non solid state, so I guess solid state isn't imminent.
