Ultra Long Life Lithium Batteries on the Way

At least one of the big "battery problems" looks like it's about to be solved. A research firm from Japan claims that they've found a way to increase the average life of high-capacity lithium-ion batteries greatly. Eamex says that the new technology will lead to batteries that last for 20 years and over 10,000 recharges!

The new batteries will have more "stable" electrodes and put less stress on their tin, slowing the deterioration process greatly. This is very good news since lithium batteries are used in everything from consumer electronics to electric cars. Many experts believe that longer-lasting, more durable, and more efficient batteries are one of the major keys to solving several major problems facing the world, including global climate change!
