Can you imagine a battery that you need to charge for 15 min and can hold up to over one week.Isn't it incredible what new stuff technologists have discovered. But Imagine plugging your phone for 15 min and then having it for the rest of the week with not caring about how much it charges. According to the engineers at North West University have invented such a thing. They've created an electrode for lithium-ion batteries that extends their lasting life by ten times after only charging them for one-tenth of the time it normally takes. After charging it 150 times witch would be a year it is still more efficient then a normal lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries in our devices have two major flaws: limited energy capacity and a slower-than-molasis recharge rate. This electrode eliminates these problems.
How could this be good/bad for the society? It is actually really really good because now people don't have problem charging their batteries all day long.
How did you find it?I was looking on the Discovery News and suddenly I stumbled over this very interesting article about batteries.
Did it come from a reliable resource? Yes,for sure Discovery is one of the most interesting things that is on the internet it is also safe and has a lot of reliable articles.
Why did you chose it? I chose it because I wanted to see if this is really true because I have a lot of problems with charging because sometimes I forget or sometimes its not on average but with this I can work all School week and still charge it in the weekend.
