This could be a huge game changer, for many applications, even say, mars or Venus.
Anyway, the battery ingredients are in essence, dirt cheap, they live on heat, quite the opposite of Lithium batteries, where heat means death.
This battery only works when it's in a molten state, 5 to 600 deg Celsius.
It can cycle a million times more than lead, Ni Cad, or Lithium, meaning it could potentially have a life of 50+ years, and recycling is a breeze, in fact, all you'd have to recycle, is the case that contains the process itself.

Anyway, this is a good interview with the inventor chemist/owner of the company, may be a bit boring, but you'll learn a lot.

This is really cool technology, and the footprint looks to be smaller than the equivalent lithium-ion capacity.

Good point!
I see this as only the beginning of using cheap and ready available material that won't require import.
