doest is suffer from thermal runaway etc.

All these parameters do is help determine its best possible use-case for product and if it something to compete against incumbents or open up other market possibilities.

> thermal runaway etc

From the article: "The main new component in this lithium-air battery is a solid electrolyte instead of the usual liquid variety. Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to the safety issue with the liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire."
