Maybe my math is off, but that looks like 76 wh/kg at the one-hour rate.
I don't know of any lead-acid battery that exceeds about 35 wh/kg.  Either
these are pretty remarkable batteries, or the test is, shall we say,
overly optimistic.

Methinks Mr. Aronson will need to submit his batteries for independent
inspection and testing, including energy density, power density, and cycle
life.
