How can you tell a battery scientist is lying?

His lips are moving.

I hope this battery pans out.

But at least once a month somewhere around the world some university/research institute/battery startup issues a press release about a massive breakthrough in battery tech.

Pursuing the Promise of Zinc-Air Batteries," EPRI Journal, Volume 22, Number 4 July/August 1997. Page 4, half-way down the page. Twenty-three years ago. That's a long time in the R&D phase of development.

While I really hope this is true, I will file the current claim right next to my climate change, Wu-Flu, and Russian influence files.

Nothing about storage capacity compared to LiIon...and charge loss data does not look good. Their presentation technically is not good.

My great-grandfather was born in 1865. In 1891, he went to work for a battery company in Cologne, Germany. Started off as a technician in customer service, worked his way up to sales and contracts, opened the company’s first remote office in Danzig, Germany, and made a lot of money. He was able to build a fine home in the best part of town. Batteries in the 1890s and 1900s were the high-tech industry of the day.

“The round-trip efficiency of the system — ie, the percentage of inputted energy that is outputted at the end — is about 65%, a far cry from lithium-ion’s 95%, but this is accounted for in the LCOS figures.”

So does this mean that 35% of the energy is lost right out of the gate?
