Did you read the article link?

I don't think it will be any help for me, they say commercial applications ready about 2050

I'm no battery expert, but it looks like that reporter is even less expert than me, and doesn't understand 'kilowatt-hour' or 'energy density'. My take on this is, iron-air batteries will store energy cheaply, but will be big and heavy. They will be suitable for large-scale storage where size and weight is not a problem - on a site near a wind farm or on a solar farm covered with solar panels, or in an outbuilding for an off-grid house. But not very promising for mobile use. But there's not very much technical detail, mostly hand-waving.
