It's all quite generic in the press release. And, nobody even tries to answer the number one question: how long until batteries like this could eventually hit the market?
- will_hughes 11y agoThe other major issue being: How does this affect all the other parameters that make a battery useful? I mean, sure, an 'indefinite life' is fine, but not if it's got more limited charge/discharge rates, energy densities, etc.
- mpweiher 11y ago"The new battery also has an improved power capacity that is 20 to 30 percent higher than traditional models, and can endure frigid temperatures as well" Nothing about charge/discharge rates.
- bro-stick 11y agoIt's completely not characterized in any meaningful form. They shouldn't have made any claims to the media without a real demo and comparison to show with it. Otherwise, it does have a tendency to come off as unobtainium fogware.
- bro-stick 11y agoIt sounds like typical hand-waving prior to additional grant/paper rounds to explore it more. It would be more convincing if there a demo video showing charging and then discharging cycles based on a load like a phablet. The real proof would be temperature-compensated, high precision battery voltage/current logging, accurate to one microvolt/microampere respectively, to back up longevity claims with a measurably slower capacity decay, tested head-to-head against the best available batteries.
