How does no resistance lead to infinite charge? I can see it having approximately infinite conductivity sure, but charge? how?

Battery chemist here. That guy has no idea what he's talking about.

Yeah I mixed up resistance with charge, superconductors are probably meaningless for batteries.

Sorry, i confused the lack of energy loss from resistance to "charge", so I'm wrong.

It might be more relevant for semi conductors in order to save energy. Maybe railguns.
