With Cirrus including EarthX batteries in their SR22 G7 (saving 20 lbs), we should push for an EarthX STC for the DA42NG and other Diamond models.
Reach out to them at sales@earthxbatteries.com to show your interest for an STC! And contact Diamond to let them know you want the batteries on the AML list!

Re: Push for EarthX Lithium Battery STC
Nice weight savings, but I'd wait for a year+ to see how this battery will survive in the field.
