Not the original poster, but I’m a fan, in appropriate applications. Robust, fast discharge, long cycle life, and can charge and discharge at lower temperatures than most other chemistries (-20C and -40C, for what I’m using). Downsides are limited availability and sizing, and absolute crap energy density even compared to LFP.

How many / what size do you have?

I have the 2.9 Ah SCiBs for form factor testing, and the 10 Ah Shenquans for some functional testing. I’m eagerly awaiting the 5.5 Ah SCiB — the application is designed around a 20S1P 5.5 Ah SCiB string.

Thank you. The moment these have reasonable pricing I'm ordering up enough to put together a 200 KWh home battery. It isn't quite economical yet but there is no way I'm putting such a quantity of Lithium-Ion in anything near or in a dwelling.

Most LTO cells are focused on bigger cells than what I need — 20 Ah to 100 Ah is much better covered than 5 to 10 Ah. Unfortunately aircraft are weight-critical.
