    "Safer" and Longer Lasting Battery Technology -- Coming soon!!!

    Just came across this article and I thought you guys might find it interesting that there are startups working on new battery tech that is safer by eliminating lithium!

    "Many experts say solid-state batteries—which eliminates liquid electrolyte, the lithium-ion substance that can cause fires, and replaces it with a solid, such as a polymer—are the leading candidate to succeed current lithium-ion batteries. Perfecting the technology could be a huge boost to the nascent electric car industry. But the method must overcome serious challenges before it is ready for the market, in particular how to produce solid-state batteries at a competitive price."

    "So in 2007, she founded a startup called Sakti3 to develop solid-state batteries that don't require most of this added bulk. They save even more space by using materials that store more energy. The result could be battery systems half to a third the size of conventional ones."
