At that energy density, can't they just wrap the entire smaller battery in 2 layers of ceramic and steel or something and just side-step the entire safety discussion OP is mentioning?
Yes, I know it's probably a silly solution :-)
- jackmott42 3y agoNot silly at all, and that might be exactly what they do!
- roomey 3y agoIf they could coat, or layer it, in a reactant or catalyst that made the hydrogen sulphide has less harmful or toxic it may work, so if the battery is damaged some of the toxic gas will be reduced to something less harmful. Maybe a chemist would know if this is possible
- sheepshear 3y agoThe premise is that the enclosure is already somehow breeched. Squeezing a battery is bad and it makes bad situations worse.
- oblio 3y agoThe thing is, batteries can weight half a ton. At triple the energy density they could almost armor plate it to tank levels. I imagine most of us aren't under Javelin attack during road trips :-p
- sheepshear 3y agoFunny but there's still corrosion, cracking, and holes to connect wires to the battery.
