Potassium (K) ion and sodium (Na) ion batteries are a hot (no pun intended) technology to replace lithium ion. Unlike lithium K and Na are abundant. They have to rework the anode to hold the K or Na ions, Na being the harder to do.

The organic polymer cathodes are new to me.

“Organic batteries? Does that me you can eat them for a snack when you run out of electricity along side of the road?”

either that, or it means that those batteries were manufactured without the use of artificial or synthetic chemicals, hormones, or fertilizers ...

Make and model, please, if it’s not too personal?

Would love to get another high-fuel-mileage car.

Thanks BenLurkin. I got a real charge out of this story. I see a big role to play for bananas in our all-electric future! ;^)
