Yes and no. The actual battery technology probably isn't going to change, but the industrial scale price on lithium batteries has been dropping about 5% per year for a given performance point, with a pretty low bottom on this path (the cost of materials is around 3% of the cost of making a lithium battery) which is a big part of WHY it's not going to change, by the time any new tech reaches a marketable price lithium batteries will be much cheaper.
