New Technology !

....from another forum on this same subject heading

Japanese company Power Japan Plus has announced the development and planned mass-production of "Ryden," a disruptive carbon battery that can be charged 20 times faster than an ordinary lithium-ion cell. The battery, which is cheap to manufacture, safe, and environmentally friendly, could be ideal to improve the range and charging times of electric cars.

That video doesn't exactly spell out any of the 'internals' of that new battery technology, but I might be will to bet it has something to do with this 'Graphene' technology considering its all carbon basis, its high capacity, and its high charge rate....all properties of graphene,...maybe in a rolled up form?

StoreDot electric car battery can be filled in 5 minutes. A company based in Tel Aviv wants to change that with the FlashBattery, which it claims can be filled in just five minutes.

The FlashBattery makes use of something called nanodots to deliver fast charging. Nanodots are chemically synthesized peptide molecules. They form the basis for a multi-function electrode, allowing super capacitor-style rapid charging with a slow discharge similar to a lithium-ion battery. The chemical compound isn't flammable and has a higher combustion temperature than graphite, which cuts the resistance of the battery.
