New Lithium Ion battery chemistry development out of UC Berkeley may allow 50% longer battery charges. PING!
Apple Ping!

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.

What’s the charging time? Increase or decrease.

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.

Actually, Lithium Manganese batteries have been on the market for about 20 years.
They probably have come up with an improved construction technique, but the general chemistry is hardly new or earthshaking.
And yes, Manganese is very plentiful; Even in the US,( unlike cobalt). You ever driven through the desert and seen the rocks stained like they had black ink or paint poured over them? That is manganese dioxide. I know several idle mines that have millions of tons of it just waiting to be dug, in veins a few feet thick.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
When there’s a shortage, an excessive cost, an inefficient process it does not mean “tragedy” it means opportunity.

Lithium, Florine, and they made such a fuss over lead.
