    Wow, that is big on the accusations, claims and the likewise, without much to back it up ..... When did the Chinese govt start testing products for sale to overseas markets?

    With so many different sodium ion (Na+) cell construction methods and manufacturers, the number that are the real deal and the number that are failed production test runs are near impossible to identify one from another.
    About the only Sodium ion cell that could be taken on face value as being thoroughly tested, would be CATL, and they don't sell to small enterprises, their second gen products are the cutting edge as far as commercial level production and OEM are taking these as fast as the pass CATL testing procedures, those that failed the testing are available on the open market .... not sure how much faith I'd put in them though, no one says why they failed to meet specs, they just didn't make specifications so were rejected.
    Doesn't matter what letter of the alphabet they put on the claimed quality, it either passed CATL specs and went on to the OEM suppliers, or it didn't ........

    Maybe you missed all the fun here at priuschat, on the two projects youtube channels and the other projects followers (beta testers) at the insightcentral forum last year (24). As well as the banning frenzy (timed and permanent ) that happened here as a result of all the fun.
    @PriusCampers comment about rigorous was referring to the testing Jack has done and published on his youtube channel which you can find by reading the documentation on the projects web site.
