New IBM battery technology??
This stuff is way over my head, but IBM is not known for flights of fancy. High density, easily sourced materials, fast charging, etc. Someday we will get to the energy density of petrochemicals -- ...

Trouble with most of this tech is longevity and mass production. Note the advantages given omit those items:
“Just as promising as this new battery’s composition is its performance potential. In initial tests, it proved it can be optimized to surpass the capabilities of lithium-ion batteries in a number of individual categories including lower costs, faster charging time, higher power and energy density, strong energy efficiency and low flammability.”
Don't get me wrong, I am very excited if a major improvement can be achieved. Many people are working on batteries.
