New Battery technology that lasts decades, Lithium Titanate Oxid - LTO

A battery with a lifespan of a human being? Yes, with up to 30 000 cycles, it may serve you 82 years (one cycle per day).

Lithium-based technology:
Lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12, referred to as LTO in the battery industry) is a promising technology for applications with high requirements like high charge and/or discharge current rate, long lifetime and extreme temperature conditions.

Safety, stability:
LTO offers advantages in terms of power and chemical stability. The LTO based batteries have lower voltage: between 2.8V and 1.5V (the nominal voltage is 2.3V). Nevertheless, the lower operating voltage brings significant advantages in terms of safety.

Fast charge and discharge:
Further, these batteries can be charged fast. Data shows that these batteries can be safely charged at rates higher than 5C. This means the battery can be charged in less than 10 minutes. The maximum charge and discharge rate is 10C so in this case, it is 400A!

High efficiency:
The LTO based batteries also have a wider operating temperature range and a recharge efficiency exceeding 98%.

Wide operation temperature range:
LTO based batteries provide much better low-temperature performance compared to carbon-based batteries. The operation ambient temperature range is from -50°C to 65°C.

Extreme durable life-cycle:
The large cycle life and high rate capability of LTO based batteries also bring unique advantages in applications where maximal cycle life is required. Using those cells properly you can easily exceed 30,000 cycles lifetime.

I swear to God this woman says "The Bluetooth device is ready to pair" in my headphones.

Guys, keep in mind these have a 85% discharge efficiency, compared to a Lifepo4s 99%. I hope this will improve somehow in the future.
These cost 150% more than capacity equivalent Lifepo4 batteries and are also heavier (I did a rough comparison below)
BUT... these last 5x longer and have a 0 chance of fire hazard. So this will be perfect for a house. But Not good for something like a camper van or a plane yet.

With the teminals on each end, how are you going to lick it to tell if it's charged?

[MrMusic]

this is the future of car batteries, the complete car battery can charge in 10min and they last over 30 years!!!

[funposting]

If these batteries are anything like the specs list, this’ll be a game changer, even at 85% efficiency. If they’re anything close to 85% after 2k cycles, it’s basically game over to Li-ion.
I’d love to grab some of these and throw them into a test rig for a month to see how they last

The technology of battery performance will change the world. Imagine being capable of harvesting and storing the power of a single lightning bolt.

I'm gonna need a bigger flashlight.

[LFOVCF]

If these are the batteries, how big is the remote control?

[RevoPowerUSA]

Wow! a battery with a lifespan of a human. The batteries are big. They could be useful for utility scale solar; people who cares how long the battery lasts are gonna love them.

[mysockC]

The claimed cycle capacity is impressive, but by the time you get one assembled at a useable voltage, its the same size as a comparable 40-50 Ah lead-acid deep cycle battery. Probably still good for backup power use if they are stable and handle cycling well, and a bit easier on the back to move.

[Charlesincharge]

If they were really smart, they would use the same form factor as existing batteries thus showing a massive capacity improvement for the same space. All without making it more expensive to convert existing applications.

[Soothsayer]

they look more like Capacitors than Batteries.

[thinshadow]

They are popular amongst the car audio community as their charging rate is fast allowing for less of a voltage drop. I have two banks of 6 35ah cells with a 320 amp alternator and my voltage only drops 0.6v with my system pulling about 8, 000 watts rms. They are definitely not meant to be used without a constant supply of energy.

[FlyingFun.]

Quite a bit % drop in voltage over the discharge cycle so power output will vary more than lipo or lifpo4 but I'll take that if it means they really last that amount of cycles, I'd love to see smaller cells for e-bikes too.

[hellcat]

Gonna be a hell of a day when they get these to under $40 per cell consistently. As it stands, they're just too expensive compared to alternatives unless they fit your needs specifically.

[eddierodden]

Would have been helpful to see them in action in real life situations.

[aleksandersats]

Finally a phone battery that won't fucking die in a year

[carpathian]

Ladies worry no more, these will last on your days of deeper needs!

[micheals]

The capacity is lower on these cells 40ah @ 2.3v (92wh) Vs 40ah at 3.3v (132wh). Also, you could theoretically get 30, 000 cycles from existing lithium batteries if you use a narrow range of the discharge curve (like 60-40%).
