So it’s manganese. That is much more available than cobalt, and of course cheaper. Good news. Nice going, Cal. At least the R&D people are doing some good out there.

I believe we see a new battery technology every few months for the past ten years that will greatly improve batteries. Goodness, our batteries must be getting so good they are practically generating surplus electricity just by sitting there.

We will have to see what its stability is.

Sounds like solid chemistry and more important...none of the unobtanium common in these articles.

Manganese is practically free.And it's essential in steel and photosynthesis.

“Unobtainium” — a few years back I coined a term for a panacea element called “Luckydaysium”.

Wind power + good batteries = unlimited growth. The left likes the first 2 but not the result.

If I had a dollar for every claimed new and improved battery, I’d be a billionaire. Let us know when it’s on the market.
