Why can't it be an ongoing story? They're starting to see uptake, and it's an important tech to keep an eye on.

Ugh. These things are extremely large and would be deployed on industrial sites, not your bachelor pad.

Ambri aren't salt batteries, but liquid metal. Why is this article calling them salt batteries?

Reply to TIL John Batman was the founder of the town that became Melbourne, Australia. And originally he called it "Batmania". There's even a street named after him: Batman Ave. by idiocrites
There's an election district called Batman.

But they're not salt. Ambri is high temp metal in liquid phase, transforming from an alloy and back.
High temperature is necessary to enable the transformation between states. The system must always be molten. The process is reversed by reversing polarity. One way it inputs electrons, the other it outputs electrons.
Molten salt batteries are literally molten salt, the heat is used to heat steam to turn turbines.
None of the literature or videos on ambri mentions salt at all.
