This is like the third different new battery technology I've seen today.

I'll believe it when it's available for purchase.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's been my take on pretty much every single battery article I've read, going back to the 90s. like 2 out of 100s has actually come to market.

Tech like this needs to perform well, be economical, and scalable for manufacturing. Articles come out usually when tech hits the first one or two, but very rarely do all 3 end up true.

But the ones currently in commercial production didn’t come out of nowhere. There were lots of incremental improvements that didn’t make headlines. What you see in tech articles is just a thin slice of the whole story.

Yeah and I don't really want to hear about it unless it's progress solid state batteries.

If you read the short article it says the material is a solid electrolyte

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago

I can only read until the paywall, however in the preview they mention they still contain lithium. The solid state batteries I, I think Panasonic is working on, have no Lithium they use glass instead of an electrolyte.
