What about volume?
Hold on so electric vehicles will only last 1200 days and then you have to buy another huge battery?
These battery's are heavy by comparison and take up volume due to the pressure vessels for the gas, they also don't form dentrites in the same way and are very serviceable, its more logical based on its characteristics to use in low maintenance environments like space or like grid power storage or honestly at home back ups, you will be able gets these installed residential as a company is reviving the old nasa pats. The real reason space people loves these is they opporate in very wide temp ranges like space.
That company is enerVenue
Lithium current rarity in based on proven deposits, the united States does have massive Lithium deposits problem is our nepotism-baby elites cant write industrial policy to make the public purse take the brunt of the risk in mining Lithium in the states, its also very environmentally not great but are deposits are in the middle of the desert with no water near San deigo, Northern Arizona, Middle of utah. It's dried up salt lake beds where the salt lakes gather various heavy compounds that don't evaporate with the water, not all salt lake beds are heavy in Lithium salts. Lithium is infinitely recyclable but just like aluminum its very energy intensive to get new aluminum but not already purified coke cans or industrial waste.

Accounting for weight, does it otherwise last as long as lithium-ion batteries?
Longer then lithium ion and with no dendritic formation kinda* they do ware down over time just much slower and you can reverse it by exchanging the gas mixture, the devil is the psi needed to pump into the tanks. Beyond that tho the gas is recyclable but also flammable.
Maybe when the EU forces user replaceable batteries these will be common 3rd party alternative replacements.
