Spotted this and thought it might be of interest:

Quoting:
"Also from TFA, they have made 10,000 samples on their production line. They are initially aiming at the power company market, thus huge batteries with huge price tags. They are targeting $100 per kilowatt hour by 2020. One of the co-founders also co-founded A123. So there is some experience at bringing batteries to market.

Lots of companies fail for reasons besides their technology. I won't be surprised if this one fails too. On the other hand, it is more real than most such slashdot stories."
 
I read that too.
We'll see. That'd be great... but I've probably read 1,000 battery stories so far that turned up nothing in the real world.
