Solid-state batteries charge in a fraction of the time, run cooler, and pack more energy into less space than traditional lithium-ion versions. (news.ucr.edu)

I'm not gonna hold my breath about this, because "breakthrough in smaller better battery tech" is a recurring headline seen for the better art of 20 years.

... But I am convinced that the next major leap forward when it comes to advancement of practical applications of tech that isn't stationary is going to involve a breachthrough in regards to battery capacity and size/weight. So as usual I'm curious where this leads.

Once we have something practical for the open market, we're going to see a lot more portable applications for tech, and I for one am looking forward to it.

“breakthrough in smaller better battery tech” is a recurring headline seen for the better art of 20 years.

And the batteries we have today are VASTLY better than what we had 20 years ago. Progress is always slow, but as far as batteries are concerned the progress that's been made has been incredible.
