..energy density of 525WH/Kg and specific anode capacity 1,250mAh/g
...in commercial production in the US by 2014

after end of days 21.12.2012CalBattery’s current plans are to scale up the process equipment for commercial production and then to offer this GEN3 battery anode material in commercial production in the US by 2014.
At the end of the day John I think most of who announces an awesome battery before they are selling or ready to sell it are just fishing for free money from suckers!John in CR said:It's been a while since we got news about the "best thing since sliced bread" in batteries is only 2-3 years from commercial production. There was plenty of 10X energy density news 3-4 years ago, but where is it?
Once I start seeing some 5 or 6V nominal cells, then I'll believe. I'll contain my excitement until then. 8)
Lithium-ion battery research company, CalBattery, has announced a huge breakthrough in energy density that could in a few years give a 300% jump in battery energy density, that could triple electric car driving range.
Hummina Shadeeba said:capacitors now are makeable with an energy density equivalent to lead acid batteries at 30 watt hours per kilo (depending where you read). Lipo are 200 watt hour to kilo.
Theyre all over YouTube and look super easy to make, although maybe not quite up to the 30watt hour to kilo ability though. People are making what seems to be graphene easily
Compared to an electrochemical cell capacitors seem to practically last forever. The discharge is a voltage plummet right away from 100s of thousands straight down in moments though

Was thinking it could make a great skateboard deck with a short range but quickly rechargeable. Not going to try because it sounds extremely deadly but the potential to make something very capable seems there

There's the Capa bus since 2010 in China.
but how would you charge and discharge. Transformers for both? What else would you need?
How long could an electrostatic charge hold?
