New Battery of the future?
-
Seen that this morning too. Looks very promising.
-
I am really excited about it.
-
That is really cool. That could be amazing if they get it to market.
-
Hopefully they won't be as volatile and explosive as lipo batteries are.

From the article: Furthermore, the materials are safer than the ones in lithium-ion batteries, which can catch fire in certain situations. In contrast, the aluminum-ion battery won't catch fire even if you drill a hole through it while it's working.

Yeah, lipo is far more dangerous than li-ion. I'm not sure why they even got used in laptops.

They say lipo is dangerous, but I just can't seem to lose the weight.

Same problem here.

Wishful thinking XD

Believe it when I see it. Al work hardens, including through heat cycling. Catastrophic failures will always be exciting in batteries, simply because they are so chemically energetic. Pun intended. Only safety factor I see with them is that Al will not burn in air like Li

Now you're thinking to yourself: "Matt's a smarmy bastard, people have used a simple lead acid battery for YEARS and nothing bad has happened"
Smarmy bit is probably true, but batteries are NOT to be toyed with.
Even a little 2032 coin cell in a mobo will do very bad things if you toss it into your pocket with some loose change.
