Adam Varga + 123 AV December 15, 2017 New discovery in battery technology. Lithium-ion battery overstuffed with lithium. If scientists succeed, this battery will lead to longer range for battery-operated vehicles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seleskya + 50 AS December 15, 2017 Sure they will, eventually ... but for now, keep betting on lithium Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK December 15, 2017 It is still lithium. If I understood correctly, they are trying to add more lithium to increase an ability of the battery to store more charge in the space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP December 15, 2017 The idea is to enable powering EVs to run 30%-50% more between charges. But this is still just a theory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK December 15, 2017 Yes and there's a catch here. These lithium stuffed cathodes are loosing voltage rapidly and science still doesn't have an answer for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
