A Battery on par with an Ultracapacitor


Test lithium ion battery electrodes developed at MIT can be fully discharged within 10 seconds, with a one liter battery capable of discharging 25,000 watts worth. One of these batteries could carry 10 times as much power as an ultracapacitor of the same size. These could be good for race cars or lasers; things that can store a lot of energy and need to release it quickly with high performance. Sadly, the developing company is not planning on developing the batteries for lasers.
