The title is full of hype.

The title is factually accurate, as no other solid-state battery has as high a capacity. Perhaps it could be better phrased to be clearer that it's "the highest of solid state batteries" and not "the highest of batteries, and also solid state".

But that's the problem with these announcements. They make one or two factual statements that seem positive but hide the downsides. A year or two from now and the downsides aren't overcome and at best they gain a small market niche.

I found it tedious. Pretty much every post about advancements in battery technology on HN have a similarly cynical post at the top. I wondered what this one would be before I clicked on the comments link.

Well maybe because the cynicism is justified. Every week there's a new battery announcement and only rarely is it not hype.

Yet look at the progress made in battery technologies over the last few decades.
