An interesting article in re/code has announced news out of Stanford University that may radically improve battery usage and recharging. According to the
article, "A research team at Stanford University says
it has come up with
a prototype aluminum battery that can recharge in as little as one
minute, as compared to the hour or so it takes the fastest lithium-ion
battery." In addition, the new battery is said to be safer, cheaper, and last longer on recharging. while still a prototype, one can only wonder how soon before this product comes to market.
