Yes, thats why they're still working on the technology. But an initial 10x capacity compared to current batteries is amazing. Note that even losing 50% capacity after 150 cycles, they still store twice as much as current battteries. I suspect if that was the limit of the decline, they'd be going into production. But they also say it then drops off much more steeply after 150 charges.
So, a work in progress. But the most encouraging news I've heard from battery research for many years.
