A bit late maybe? Are we moving away to other battery tech?

No they still need it. Cars/houses might be using newer stuff. But that kids toy is still good need lithium

We could have been using super/ultra capacitors fo years now, but the battery industry is claiming a lack of energy density over the toxicity and deleterious effects on ecology/human life of lithium products. Not a trade in my opinion, but they'll chant that mantra to all of our graves.
