    New Battery Technology

    If this ever becomes a reality it will be awesome.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    A recharge in 1 min is fast, imagine those in an electric vehicle that normally might take 6hrs+ to recharge.

    Recharging time aside, just the idea of a battery that would be cheaper to make and can handle so many more recharges is what I like.

    This could also be a nice light weight option for our fridge batteries.

    There have been promises of revolutionary new batteries every year or two for at least the last century.

    But the vast majority of batteries in use today use nineteenth century technology! The only new technology in widespread use today is Lithium Ion and NiMH. And it is worth noting that Lithium Ion was invented in the 1970s, but the first commercial product was 1991, and they did not become common until well into the 2000s. Similarly, NiMH batteries, invented in 1967, first commercial product 1989, not widely used until late 1990s.

    So I am very wary of wonderful new batteries that will revolutionise the world.
