Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times — more than any other pouch battery cell — and can be recharged in a matter of minutes.

I would love to see more dramatic research into battery tech, but steps like this are also welcome, as these are necessary stepping stones before even better steps.

Getting the same vibes from this as I got from Hyperloop, it is too hyped up, the claims are way too big to be realistic.

I'll watch from the sides, and if it becomes a proven technology, I will gladly support it, but so far, nope, I don't believe their claims.
