Apparently those clever Germans have created a battery that may last for up to 25 years, and have application for eco-autos.
QuoteThese batteries have a power density of 1,100 Watts per kilogram, which is around four times the normal density of today's lithium-ions. These batteries aren't designed to go into your phone or tablet, though. No, the scientists at ZSW aim to use these power-thirsty batteries for wind and solar power storage – and also for electric cars.
What could that mean for an electric car? Presuming a driver plugged their car in every day, the batteries could last for over 25 years with the vast majority of its original capacity. Arguably, the batteries then would easily outlast most of the rest of the EV's components.

I'm sure an assassin from an oil company has already killed it's inventor.
No Jews were harmed during the testing of this battery.
^Also...I seem to remember claims of a 1000 year reich as well and that didn't really pan out.

Wouldn't you want to know what it was they coated with that batter first?
Since we're talking about germans, no
Beer batter of course.

What's this, just bad taste in humor or does it mean you really don't like Germans?
Really...
The 1000 year Reich lasted only 12 ...so the battery will only last 109.5 day ;)
QuoteReally...
Good to know...

And he likes Germans. Just not Nazis.
I had some really good butter on a roll in Germany once. It was amazing. But I think the best butter I've ever eaten was in Ireland. I don't know what secrets the Irish hold but they make some of the world's best butter.

I remember fresh hot Butterbretzeln for breakfast. A hot soft German pretzel sliced sideways like a bagel with butter in it. Jeeze that was good!
