New 3D Lithium batteries to be supposedly commercialized in 2018.

Prieto Battery has partnered with Intel for a potential production goal in 2018.

This could result into faster battery charge and longer life (charge + global life).

I'll let you check the website as they explain everything pretty well there.

 

 

Cheers!

cool!

I will sadly only be excited for new battery tech once I have it in my hands. Most battery advances have been nothing but pipe dreams over the past couple of years.

Sounds great, I hope this will actually get some sure footing and spread out. Not certain about the 3x and 5x things, what they would translate to in non-theoretical scenarios, but an actual improvement in charge speed, density and such is fantastic. SO many things can benefit from this. 

 

 

EDIT: also, Intel backing this is HUGE. It's ACTUALLY gonna happen, with a serious backer like Intel.

Meh... I'm with Glass on this, we've heard so much sh*t about new battery tech, yet we never hear about it again... I'll believe it when I see it.

[SoftPoison]

I think that POWER SPONGE is a more appropriate name for this.

Will believe it once it's in my hands.

 

There's been many new battery tech popping up in the last 5+ years and none of them ever came to be anything.

Considering that Intel thought it was good enough to partner up, they must have seen something in it! Hopefully now i'll be able to get 3x the battery life on my smartphone.

I don't really see this happening... Battery makers would loose much money for making less & less batteries because the new ones would last much longer & there would be no use then for the old ones

average consumers will find some ways to ruin their batteries much earlier than their life spans

and non-removable battery on device is norm nowadays. These devices will die somehow around their warranty expires anyway

 

I personally hate batteries with their many inconveniences. You have to worry about charging them, their battery level, wearing over time....and potential risk of explosion under improper use and conditions. Improvements like those would be good, but still want some kind of alien tech that batteries run forever

[Doobeedoo]

Please let there be new type of battery soon that can last at least couple of times more...
Good new though, if we get it in our hands soon and it's proven to last.

We need battery technology to progress. Our society is becoming more and more reliant on them. With Intel backing, it will happen. Hopefully this benefits electric cars as well.

exactly what I thought. Electric cars. 5x more power density? That brings a model S to ~1500 miles on a single charge... (which means I would consider it as a car!)

 

 

The problem with these will be the time required to charge them.

when it comes to electrical cars, power/size is not the only thing that matters, power/weight matter to.

No, they will make the battery 3x smaller. Who needs battery life when you could make it dysfunctionally slim?

Were any of those financially backed by Intel?

[AresKrieger]

So does this mean phone batteries will improve, or like every time before does it mean the phones will get smaller, which no one is asking for.

next years 500 Mile range bump, is already more then enough lol.

Not because it's backed by intel, that it will actually be released.

They could just be financing the R&D and that is it, surely it wouldn't be the first time Intel pour money into something they end up never releasing.

Actually it would be. And before you bring up Larrabee, it was released as the Knight's Ferry Xeon Phi, just not in the original target market

Not for me. 1000 miles is enough. If I ever go on a road trip it's close to 1000 usually. I live in an awkward place though, like nothing here lol

how often does that happen
