minus-squareCheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 months agoSome quick research suggests it has 7-8% more power density than the best modern lithium batteries while using less rare earth metals (probably not by a huge degree but its something) and being less prone to exploding.
minus-squareMrkawfeelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoThanks. Sounds like an important incremental improvement rather than a paradigm shift kind of thing.
minus-squareElise@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoYeah, that’s a really good density. My bike stores about that amount and it takes 5kg or so, just a quick guesstimate.
