A team of researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) has come up with a new discovery that is sure to delight smartphone, tablet, and laptop users who are annoyed at how quickly the capacity in their batteries can seemingly degrade.



While current lithium-ion batteries have a real problem in that their ability to hold a charge declines significantly in just a relatively small number of charge-discharge cycles, the geniuses at JAIST have come upon a new material called bis-imino-acenaphthenequinone-paraphenylene (BP) copolymer that, in addition to being a huge chore to type out, can protect the graphite anode of Li-ion batteries from degradation even after 1,700 cycles.



Assuming that the research pans out, we could be seeing next-generation lithium-ion batteries that could maintain full capacity for as...

Battery life is pretty much the only reason I’ve upgraded my phone for the last three or so generations.

That said, I don’t expect this to come to market - it’s just today’s latest miracle battery article.

If it does thst will charge 2k per phone for the bilisimo battery option.
 
Guess it has been a while since the last click bait new awesome battery tech article has been posted.
 
What we need is standard sizes, and forced adoption of said standards, plus mandatory user replaceable. How often updated, what , where is for experts to decide... But in my opinion, lack of standards is a big big issue that needs to go away. If we had standars any new company with a superior tech would instantly have a huge market, all they need to do is build things in whatever applicable shape. That is only one benefit.
