Engineers working for Tesla are aiming to change that.

I didn&#39;t really understand much about batteries until I first of all tried to design an experiment to measure the discharge characteristic of a battery (there are so many variables) and secondly to design a low cost, very low power battery powered LED flasher for an advertising plague make of Perspex (I managed two years unbroken operation before I had to turn it off - so I could retire). Once you start with recharging then the complexity just mushrooms. Still, I do have high hopes that future battery technologies will achieve a step-increase in performance and cost-effectiveness.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7774&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/power-management/b/blog/posts/tesla-s-new-battery-could-power-vehicles-for-up-to-a-million-milesSat, 14 Sep 2019 21:39:07 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:9702e1b2-f7bd-4463-a924-bd11d9b1807athree-phase0<p>Very interesting, battery technology is certainly moving forward at a fair pace. This is also spilling over into power generation for storage to respond to fast frequency responses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kind regards.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7774&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/power-management/b/blog/posts/tesla-s-new-battery-could-power-vehicles-for-up-to-a-million-milesSat, 14 Sep 2019 02:20:20 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:9702e1b2-f7bd-4463-a924-bd11d9b1807aclem570<p>I need these now<span>[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-9702e1b2-f7bd-4463-a924-bd11d9b1807a/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]</span></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7774&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
