This is big news....if it can be refined into a scalable process enabling commercial production.

LI-S batteries have significantly more capacity than commercial Li-[x] batteries of the same weight, but the big weakness until now has been that they have terrible durability.

I'm kinda curios to know if they smell bad because of the sulfur. LiPo smells sweet, like bubblegum, when its electrolyte leaks. Would a Li-S electrolyte leak smell nice like fireworks, or weird like onion/garlic?
