Apparently no one saw the actual story on this technology. It's in an engineering lab at a major university. The capacity equals that of a LiPo without the risk of catching fire, and it's CHARGE rate is well over 50C.. I easily pull that on my helicopter, so that's old news for a discharge rate, but charge is apparently a different challenge. They didn't talk any further about the technology since this was a generic news story, but it's absolutely real.
