There is no "specific energy density".<br /><br />It's too confusing for General John Q. Publicke, and I agree that they need to invent some easily-comprehensible terms in order to mass market the subject. The only one that's worse is light output: try to explain luminous flux versus radiant flux versus "brightness" to someone buying an LED bulb. Me, I want a spherical radiation pattern and watts measured in an integrating sphere...Malatropenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-83772469871695648652019-06-25T22:46:59.935-04:002019-06-25T22:46:59.935-04:00One of the issues with measuring and judging the q...One of the issues with measuring and judging the quality of batteries is the nomenclature. It's still not standardized as well as it is for many other products making it difficult to accurately compare the actual efficiencies. However we NEED better battery technology if we are to stop carting around liquid fuel for transportation. This looks promising. It likely isn't the<br />solution but it is further down the road towards one.Dannoreply@blogger.com
