Comment Comment by petra The theoretical maximum is higher than gasoline(1700Wh/Kg[2]), and that's what matters:rechargable Li/CuCl2 could offer 1166.4 Wh/kg[1], while recyclable, non-rechargeable aluminum-air could offer 5200Wh/Kg[1].Some batteries may have 200K recharge cycles[3].Innolith is talking about a battery with 50K recharge cycles[4], but for the grid.They also talk abuot building a 1000Wh/Kg battery for cars.But who knows , they're a startup, so we'll need to wait and see.And phinergy, another startup working on recyclable aluminum-air battery - is planning to open a factory in India in 2020.[1]https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/4328/whats-t...[2]https://phys.org/news/2018-10-catalyst-high-energy-aluminum-...[3]https://www.pcmag.com/news/343967/researchers-stumble-on-a-2...[4]https://www.pv-magazine.com/2018/10/10/innolith-launches-inf... parent petra 7 years ago

Innolith is talking about a battery with 50K recharge cycles[4], but for the grid.
They also talk abuot building a 1000Wh/Kg battery for cars.
But who knows , they're a startup, so we'll need to wait and see.
And phinergy, another startup working on recyclable aluminum-air battery - is planning to open a factory in India in 2020.
