From the smallest grains of sand do the mighty mountains form, from a tiny little seed does the largest of trees grow. :)

From trying to make sense of the non-technical and non-specific article, it appears that they are saying that the electrodes are pre-treated -- under controlled conditions -- to undergo the same surface reactions that the electrolyte is now expected to perform before battery operation can begin.
If so, I can see how this could preserve and maintain the electrolyte in a near-pristine condition, and extend the potential lifetime of the battery.
Not magic -- but, perhaps just a good manufacturing process based on sound materials science.
Nous verrons...

And a potential blessing for those of us who need and appreciate extended battery life and power.
It may not always be necessary, but when you need your batteries to be as long-lived as possible, more advances in this area are most welcome. :)
