Seems like lithium batteries are soon going to become a dead tech with the rise of sodium-ion batteries.

They are? As I understand it, sodium-ion batteries have lower energy density and smaller lifespan. They will probably fully replace lead-acid batteries and will be used as substitute for lithium batteries in vehicles and others similar scenarios due to their hazardous nature.
