Solid state lithium batteries for vehicles and storage?

[profdant139]

This article (see link below) seems to say that there are? will be? great advances in solid state lithium batteries, very soon. I don't know whether this is just speculation or whether these folks know what they are talking about.

I wonder whether this new type of battery will be more tolerant of below-freezing temps than current lithium batteries are? (No pun intended.)

You never want to be on the "bleeding edge" of technology. For reliability you want to be comfortably behind the "cutting edge" !

There are a dozen of these kinds of reports a week...so far they are using the same lithium batteries that have been around for 2-3 decades.

I figure shortly after the first commercially viable fusion reactor comes online, we will have a big jump in battery technology.

In the meantime, my wet cell and AGM batteries are doing just fine and including long term storage with batt disconnect. They do well in cold weather camping with close monitoring. Cheers

So maybe 2035 for a retail battery for the RV. Your LFP should last until then.

Toyota and Panasonic have been working jointly on solid state batteries for several years now.....still not ready for prime time.

I assume all new battery technology is 10 years away from being available at retail.

Interesting.. And I do agree with the question about cold weather recharge (Can it be done)
By the way up to a point cold weather recharge of existing batteries is possible a well.. but it's more costly than warm weather recharging.
Why.. First you use the charger power to warm the battery via a good old electric heater.. Then you charge it.
