Not that unit but the internal technology, size weight, etc instead of the gigantic heavy batteries currently used?

Yes they can and I expect that as the battery prices improve, they will move to LiFePo4 batteries for cars. The issue, Lead-Acid car batteries are very forgiving for poorly regulated voltage and current. Li-ion are not at all forgiving. The BMS (internal battery management system) had better be up to task. LiFePo4 is much more forgiving than Li-ion. But the voltage regulator system should be better for charging car batteries than the crude system in most cars.
