New Lithium Battery is 7x better
" Researchers at the University of Illinois of the first to show that lithium carbon dioxide batteries could be designed to operate in a fully rechargeable manner. Their prototype can manage 500 consecutive charge and discharge cycles. Lithium carbon dioxide batteries are an attractive energy storage system because they have a specific energy density that's more than seven times current batteries. So state of the art current batteries would be about 256 what hours per kilogram. But these new lithium carbon dioxide batteries can theoretically reach 1876. What hours per kilogram? That's seven times more, and that's the exciting part about this. " source: video
