They don't say how many charge cycles. US is deeply dependent on China for Lithium Ion batteries. This new technology offers a path around this and time will tell if the cost will make a real difference.

How stable are they? (boom / fire)
What voltage and amperage?
What products are they best suited for? Hearing aids, handheld phones, Teslas?

All the ingredients come from sea water? How many acre-feet of water is needed to make one battery? these things are going to cost an exorbitant amount.

Good questions.
...It can reach a power density of more than 10,000 watts per liter...
10,000 whats???
Sorry...couldn’t resist. :)

Also no specifics regards little things like availability, initial confioguration, and price.
Until that happens it’s just more vaporware.

Yeah, I want one of their new, Star Trekky power cells in my hearing aid or cell phone when it has a warp core breach. I’ll leave my next-of-kin a list of zip codes where they can go look for my skull fragments.

A quick search shows gasoline has 36,000 watts per litre. So, it is about a third as productive, assuming that the other problems don’t exist.
Such as getting 1/10 the mileage during winter.

If IBM has patented this tech, the Chinese have already purloined the filing and are busily racing to market with a clone.

You NEVER need to talk the customer into buying something that is just as good or better and if it’s only just as good, at a better price.
The market decides in the end.
Unless you’re Tesla :)

Lots of energy in a small space; what could possibly go wrong?

More for surge and not storage. Think of a standard auto lead acid battery.

Sounds like a supercapacitor. They have been a dream for decades to replace car/laptop batteries. Simple and quick high (read not readily available) charging in minutes for vehicles seconds for less energy intensive items.

“the Oasis Group 31 battery from Firefly International Energy “ — First the development, mass manufacturing technique needed, then bankrupt.
10 years to market is easily 20 years without a production method.
No innovation was possible in the solar cell industry with the Chinese doing dumping and thwarting predictive business model costs—stuck on first generation technology. IMHO
Maybe someone at IBM went rogue again in a Swiss research lab per superconductors.

Scientific BREAKTHROUGH !!
IBM Battery has power capacity 1/1000th that of simple gasoline.
Why?
Why so low and miserly?
Because electricity is NOT gasoline !

10,000 whats??? For that you must be charged with assault and battery. Ten years in a Dry Cell for you.

Ah, a flux capacitor! But can you get 1.2 Gigawatts and fit it into a DeLorean?
