Aluminum graphite battery- very cool. www.csmonitor.com/Technology/2015/0407/Tired-of-recharging-New-aluminum-battery-fills-up-in-under-a-minute According to the team, the aluminum-ion battery prototype is better than today’s lithium-ion batteries in a few ways. In addition to allowing super-fast charging, it’s also flexible, so it could be bent to fit tightly inside a smart phone body. The battery is also safer than today’s batteries. Lithium-ion cells can catch fire under certain circumstances, whereas the Stanford team’s prototype can be beaten around or even have a hole drilled through it without safety issues. Can't wait to see what this can do for cordless tools and cars down the road- if something even better doesn't come along first. |
