Reply to comment by SemanticTriangle in Low-cost battery built with four times the capacity of lithium by BlitzOrion

So after 5 years of charging it has double the capacity of lithium ion.

That is double the capacity of a li-ion in 5 years when the li-ion is brand new.

Usually within 5 years you will have replaced your phone or the battery.

Got it.

Phones are not the only use for rechargeable batteries. Cars? Hornsdale?

For people who don't know, this is Hornsdale:

In addition, 1000 cycles is a LOT. I think even the heavy users would struggle to use 1000 cycles of for example 200kWh (4x a reasonable amount of 50kW) within the usable lifetime of all the other parts of the vehicle. With consumption of 0.3kWh/mile you would need to drive over 600k miles to have the battery degrade to "just" 100kWh, which still means 300 mile range.

I'm with you, SemanticTri has different expectations that seem unreasonable
