Effective lifetime of... forever. no need for replacement. insanely
fast recharge. smaller (probably). What's not to like?
I am not in a huge hurry to get into manufacturing, and I merely
wanted to cost out what what it would do to the bom, any changes to

it will bump the unit cost up slightly,
but what price, forever?
