Don't you mean a charge in 24-30 seconds? Otherwise your example is just that of a 10x smaller A123 battery.

- meepmorp 14y ago45 min is 2700 seconds, so 10x faster charging is 270 seconds or 4 1/2 minutes.
- flakmonkey 14y agoThe rate that the battery charges is independent from the capacity of the battery. Assuming the new tech is 10x less energy dense and has a 10x faster charge rate, if you compare one of these new batteries with capacity equal to that of the Model S battery, the new battery will charge 10x faster but occupy 10x the volume, since it is less energy dense. A new battery of this kind that occupied the same volume as a Model S would contain 10x less energy than the Model S battery, but it would charge to full capacity 100x faster than the Model S.
- cdash 14y agoThere should be two multipliers though right? If it charges 10x faster and you are charging to a 10x less total energy it should charge 100x faster right?
