Comment on Water-based battery "safe, efficient, non-toxic"
frezik@midwest.social 1 year agoThe mAh/g might be comparable, but it’s only 1V per cell. Lithium cells are 3.3V per cell, so the overall Wh capacity is three times lower.
Since it’s made of cheap and abundant materials, it could still be useful for grid storage, or for a cheap commuter EV.

Yeah I suppose thats true, I mean without a power curve the OCV isn’t all that interesting to me (and that power curve is going to be influenced by manufacturing which is probably not optimized and may or not be compatible etc etc). So like I said, neat bit of chemistry, but I do get why people get burned out on these articles.
