This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I really like the safety aspect of this, but 72% capacity after 300 cycles seems low. What's a use case scenario where this is preferable over lipo batteries?
Much more stable chemistry. In stationary applications, like UPS systems and off grid electrical systems, lead acid is still the standard, due to having stable chemistry, very unlikely to catch fire, and a cost to capacity ratio that is still very good.
The degradation seems pretty bad, but if it's stable from 300 cycles onwards, you could take 75% as the actual capacity of the battery.
Boats, planes, drones, phones, bikes... Anywhere that you can maximize storage cell capacity in odd shaped volumes and spaces/designs. It's great.

Why do you think they’re called D batteries? 😏

Having looked at comparative data, it's not really out of the norm...
After 300 cycles, a lithium carbide iron disulfide pouch cell retained 72.0% capacity
Put that on a phone and the battery will degrade almost 30% in one year... seems a lot tbh.
But depending on cost, in my hopeful optimistic universe, that could mean bringing back replaceable batteries.
it is so interesting to learn just how far behind articles like this are
I bet if you cut it vertically the lights will go out.
Big if true
But does it make a boom when Mossad needs it?
