I'll say. Who WOULDN'T want that?! However, lithium isn't the chemistry for "nearly forever." If you want a "nearly forever" battery, what you want is nickel-iron. I confess I haven't personally met any, but I understand that there are original NiFe cells made by Edison himself (well, at least with his brand name on them) still in working condition. We're talking batteries close to a century old! Some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries also are very long-lived. Regardless, good luck with your project. Keep us posted.
