New lithium-air battery technology doubles current battery performance
‘Development of a lithium-air battery with an energy density over 500 wh/kg: One of the world’s highest energy densities achieved — ScienceDaily […] When operated at room temperature, the champion battery exhibited a weight energy density of 500 Wh/kg, which is about twice that of current lithium-ion batteries. The performance has been described as the highest in the world in terms of energy density and number of cycles.’ Great news for renewable electric flight.
