Think your charging habits are stellar? Think again. Even with careful management, lithium-ion batteries are designed to degrade over time, often dropping below 80% capacity after just a few hundred cycles. Despite the shortcomings of current technology, Boston-based Pure Lithium is working on a game-changing lithium metal battery that promises over 2,000 cycles and twice the energy density. While we still rely heavily on lithium-ion, advancements in battery management software help mitigate some damage. Innovation is on the horizon, but for now, we’re stuck with batteries that just can’t keep up.
What charging habits have you adopted to extend your battery’s lifespan, and are you excited about the future of battery technology?
