Hey guys! I know that a lot of the concepts that are being talked about still have several years until we see any development made. I'm not sure how many of you are interested in the new advancements of technologies regarding batteries - but I've been seeing a lot of stories about them lately and thought I'd share another. Without further ado, I introduce you to...

Power Japan Plus (PJP)'s Dual Carbon Battery
Developed by Japanese company Power Japan Plus, this new battery is intended to compete with those used in the current Testla Model S vehicles. Using both cathodes and anodes made of carbon, this battery promises all of the following amazing features:

  • Extended Battery Life
  • No Thermal Runaway
  • Quicker Charge Times
  • Many More Charge Cycles (over 3000, that's 10x more than current batteries!)
  • Cheaper, More Natural Materials
  • 100% Recyclable and Environmentally Friendly

This new battery is being proposed for use in vehicles as a car battery; however, there is no reason we could not see it simplified to a AA-sized form as depicted in their informative video. In fact, you can view that video below and form your own opinions on this new technology.



The full article as I read it from extremetech can be found here.

Again, I'm not really sure how many of you guys are interested in these things as it may still be several years before we see them hit the market - but I always like to ponder the "what-if's" in life. Hope you enjoy it!

Just saw this myself. Their plan to market is an 18650 to start, so we'll be able to test this out fairly quickly.

Apparently is has greater energy density (no word on how much more than current batteries) and charges 20 times faster (based on the video). Also, it will be 100% recyclable but it seems to imply that may be in their second generation (based on the video)

There is no date on commercial release.
