So, you know, it's 20-year system design life.
You know, you've got the actual cost-effective duration is, you know, potentially 6 to 12-plus hours.
So from a perspective of using a lithium battery, when you're talking about trying to power up a factory,
The life of the battery, the usage of that battery, the pressure that the battery may go under, it still will do the job.
But as I said, there are companies working on other types of technology as well.
We've got another stock in the ETF.
It's a company by the name of NGK Insulators.
It's a Japanese ceramics company.
So what they're mainly responsible for is the battery system.
So this is in that manufacturing part and insulators and equipment.
they're actually working alongside doing a lot of work and their main focus is lithium, but they're also looking at zinc rechargeable batteries as well.
So, you know, there is more work and there's more being done on that battery technology space than just lithium, but lithium will really be the driver of the future, as I said, for the next 20 to 30 years.
Sure.
So ACDC, it's the ETF securities battery tech and lithium ETF.
As I mentioned, it's an ETF designed to provide investors exposure to the broad megatrend of battery technology, but also within that battery technology value chain, it also provides
lithium miners as well.
The index that we track is the Solactive Battery Value Chain Index.
And that was an index that was already around when we launched the CTF back in 2018.
So the whole idea behind the index is to look at both forms of first looking at the index universe of
and that battery technology space.
