QM is totally irrelevant to the discussion of battery chemistry and
physics.


It most certainly is not. Indeed it's possible to explain anything in
the universe, ulimately, by quantum mechanics.


Just because you might, maybe, someday, be able to explain everything
related to current battery chemistry and physics does not mean you will
magically be able to come up with new battery chemistry and physics nor
does it mean you will actually be able to build said battery, or that
if you can build it, it will be of such cost to be practical.

We have known for a long time how to turn lead into gold, but the cost of
doing it far exceeds the value of the gold.
