    why do we need batteries to last more than a day? plug in at night, job done. Any more capacity is just a waste of precious battery materials and extra bulk to carry around for no reason.

    If you’re a special case who for some reason has to go multiple days away from a charger, you have portable battery banks now.

      You are looking at it the wrong way.

      Any more capacity is just a waste of precious battery materials and extra bulk to carry around for no reason.

      It’s not about using more, it’s about getting more battery life from less resources and at the same size. Of course, also safely.
