This’ll change the world.

Some company is gonna buy this technology and hide it from the world so they can continue selling us crap batteries that need to be replaced more often.

2.5times after 300 charging, 1.25times after 450 charging, then you can throw it.

I’ve been learning to live with it. It only pissed me off when the cam won’t take a 3d pic because the battery is low.

Imagine a gaming laptop loaded to the teeth with LTE you could actually play for hours before it died, or an iPad you could use for literally a month or two without charging, or a freaking phone that could last a day! lol

That fact alone would make these new batteries extremely in demand.

The essential limitation of a battery comes from the charging materials, and any improvements in cathode/anode (even with 100% efficiency) cannot increase the capacity dramatcally. The amount of the “energy” inside the battery is already determined, and I don’t think we’re losing > 90% of it due to low efficiency.

Can’t wait for it to reach the lowly consumer such as myself! Hopefully it will coincide with my next phone upgrade… Wouldn’t it be absolutely tragic if it started coming out on phones like a month after you bought one?

“The next step for the team is to improve the cathode and electrolyte so that the battery can automatically shut off to prevent fires or explosions should the battery temperature get too high.”
