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.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

No Jews were harmed during the testing of this battery.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

^Also...I seem to remember claims of a 1000 year reich as well and that didn't really pan out.

What's this, just bad taste in humor or does it mean you really don't like Germans?

The 1000 year Reich lasted only 12 ...so the battery will only last 109.5 day  ;)
