Porous electrode batteries 2000x more powerful, charge 1000x faster, 30x smaller

[tipstir]

Duracell is the battery king they control the market with their flood of batteries. Company is based out of CT (New England) batteries should be still made in the USA. Since I don't use the battery and use SANYO ENELOOP rechargeable those last much longer and charge in 1 hr.

Still can't see how China has so much power making copies of everything today. If the USA did that of course things won't be so cheap. But even with cheap has become expensive.

Solar batteries are the worth type those that come in the yellow cell. Those that used outdoors bad, but I can replace them with SANYO ENELOOP they work better.

This new tech in batteries might be good on paper in a test lab, but I am sure Duracell will get a piece of the action.

Seems year after year I keep reading about all these "super batteries" and none of them ever see the light of day!

Personally until I can run my entire house, car, me (no more having to eat food for energy ha-ha as if), etc. off a single "battery" for at least a month, it really does not excite me anymore.

Wait it's 2000x more powerful but only 1000x faster charge? So that means it takes 2x longer to charge?

If so, would that be such a bad trade off?

This is great news if the can get it going commercially.

Who cares about the battery lasting 5 days when you can charge it in 20 seconds... if anything because the small batteries can hold a lot more and charge faster, technology will be able to stretch it self. Similar to how software did not need to average software not needing to be optimized when CPUs were getting faster.

Good news for portable anything. I wonder how it scales for larger device. Will it give off lots of heat? I'm perfectly content with a phone, tablet and laptops lasting for days on a single charge... or a very powerful one of those that rival a desktop lasting a day and still charging in less than a minute. That will be brilliant!

How expensive was this battery to mass produce? Also if it lasted a long time but didn't have a high power yield, there might not have been that much interest from industry since it might have been percieved as reducing their revenues since it lasted longer. And even if it did have a power yield, in '91,unlike today, they probably didn't have any consumer electronics that would require such high amounts of power.

Look at the mars Curiosity they sent it has no solar cells and runs on a heat gen that turns heat into electricity it will last 25+ years running the computers motors and a lot more the gen is about the size of 2 to 3 mini tires stacked

Is this the rate of speed you want to travel?

With all of that technology on board, there is one thing Curiosity lacks - speed. Unlike a kid’s remote controlled car, Curiosity can only travel at a top speed of one-tenth of a mile per hour.
