It'd sink an entire market.

It wont survive for the same reason that cures don't see the light of day because treatments are more profitable.

Modern cell phones last all day while running 1gbps modems and using neural network hardware for voice recognition and refreshing screens at 120hz, and more, while getting thinner. This is entirely due to battery tech advances.

There’s far more financial incentive to advance things
