New Battery Technology

New to me anyway. No more exploding mod stories.


This new rechargeable battery will last an entire lifetime

Scientists are also working on dark matter and dark energy...repost when/if it hits the market

Will most likely be crazy expensive when it first comes out

Hoping they can commercialize it quickly! Will probably be low-amp, high-capacity cells but that's the first step! The cells we're enjoying now were a theoretical dream just a few years ago.

I'm still waiting for the "Mr Fusion" to power the flux capacitor in my DeLorean with banana peels. But a a longer lifespan 30A battery would be awesome.

No doubt some where in the future Li Ion batteries will be replaced by something else. May, or may not, happen in our lifetime.

I just hope that batteries don't use up all the lithium because its a great lubricant.

While the technology looks certainly promising it will take some time and substantial testing before batteries utilizing it come to market if they do at all. Then of course there is cost which will ultimately play a large role in it's overall viability. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Their solid electrolyte is called a “superionic lithium-ion conductor,” composed of lithium, germanium, phosphorus, and sulfur. It makes their battery design better than standard batteries in all the ways that matter: Its lifespan can last for hundreds of thousands of charges, it stores more energy in the same amount of space, and it also addresses some safety concerns present with other batteries.

Sounds promising.
Maybe we'll see them in 5 to 10 years.

And in other news Stephen Hawking says that black holes are gateways to other universes. Since we can't get to one, and anyone who goes into one could never return to tell us, I guess we just have to take his word for it.

Economical disaster for battery manufacturers.
Then again an 18650 might sell for $250.
Custom charger for $1000.
