A new battery tech from a very credible source that sounds to good to be true!? |

Sounds good. 10x life and recharges in minutes. Also doesn't explode. Awesome.

This New 'Perfect' Battery Has Experts Stumped I've heard this before. So I'll be skeptical until I see it in consumer products. ETA: Graphene and Dual Carbon battery tech also had some big promises but has yet to be seen in anything common. |

Battery technology is the next big barrier to cross. Imagine if you could start a car with a cell phone size battery.

Where are the flying cars in everyone's driveway? Scientists promise, but often don't deliver.
But, since he's the Li-Ion king, we could get lucky. |

I've seen dozens of "amazing battery breakthroughs" in industry rags over the last decade. The problem is always that they work fine on minuscule lab scales but rarely on any useful scale.

Meh . . .
. . . Still waiting on the rocket backpack I was promised in 1958. |

If this pans out, this battery is way more useful than a flying car or jet pack. That is game changer level of improvement.

So my Aimpoint could stay on for even longer, perhaps 87 years straight?

If there was a guy I'd believe a battery tech announcement from, it'd be him.
He's one of the guys that came up with our current best battery, the li-ion. |

There was an article about this in the Austin paper a few weeks ago. I'd say, because of the source, and the institution, that there has to be something here. I really don't think Goodenough and UT would be talking about it if they weren't sure. I really hope so.

Jesus. Yes. The lack of flying cars means scientists should be relegated to the dustbin of history. He said, replying to someone else on the network containing pretty much the sum total of human achievement... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I want a battery pack the size of a suitcase that will power my whole house, and recharge from solar power. That would be a game changer.

Battery tech needs a significant paradigm shift to be truly useful in the real world.
ETA: if this is the real deal and can be mass produced....... |

Another link. Looks like it might have a chance at being real. That said, electric cars need more than a good battery to replace gas. Our current electric grid is not built to handle fast charging cars. Super caps or large underground batteries could charge the cars fast enough, but we would still need the extra electrical generation capacity to handle the increased load-even if that load could be spread out across a 24hr day.
i am still waiting for a way that catch and store electrical storms... |

View Quote Thanks for the link! Sounds awesome, but "glass electrolyte" makes me cringe a bit when considering durability and physical packaging. Probably good for cars, but not so good for lots of other devices that suffer more frequent and severe shocks (like cell phones). |
