I used to always be excited about new battery tech, but let's be honest: we see nearly these exact claims ALL THE TIME, and they never come to market.
I don't know what's to blame, but I'm to the point of "believe it when I see it."
- maxerickson 10y agoThe batteries shipping today are considerably better than the ones shipping 10 years ago.
- mark-r 10y agoYes, but not to the extent that the hyped tech over the years would have you believe. It's hard to tell how much improvement is due to new tech vs. simple incremental improvements.
- mod 10y agoWhich feels like normal, incremental improvement. The news is always game-changing. Instant charging. 3x capacity. Biggest breakthrough in years. Huge capacities for pennies on the dollar. Blah blah.
- snug 10y agoThese new discoveries and inventions are years away from market, but to say, that they never come to market is just not true. Why do you think our phones are getting thinner with longer battery life? They are certainly coming to market, but to introduce something this new in your consumer grade products would increase price by likely $1000's, to very few people you'll need to build plants, and production lines.
