Awesome, more battery technology that gets announced and then is never heard of again. I'm pretty sure we've had about 10 game changing new battery technologies in the last few years, yet here we are with it still getting worse and worse each year.

It's not getting worse, it's getting better, but you don't see the benefit of it because devices are getting more and more power hungry, so the crappy old battery that used to last 7 days in your bog standard phone seems better than the 3000mAh battery that only lasts a day in your smartphone But put that same 3000mAh battery into your old bog standard phone and you wouldn't need to charge it for a month or more

That's pretty obvious tbh, I clearly didn't mean that they are literally thinking lets use an even older and worse battery technology that we used last year.

Battery life, not capacity, although that's not actually increasing hardly, batteries are just getting bigger as the devices do.

If im not mistaking we are still ising the same batteries as we did 15years ago..

15 years ago you had to charge your battery to 100% and discharge it to near 0% otherwise you ended up with a phenomenon called The Memory Effect or something similar, for example if you constantly charged your phone when it dropped to only 50%, after a while, 50% was the new 0% and you just lost half your battery capacity

I am in a fairly unique situation where as I have basically all my phones I've ever had still, so just had a quick look and the oldest one I have to hand is a Sony Ericsson T68m from 2001, so 13 years old, that uses a Li-Pol battery which has no memory effect and are still used in a lot of phones today. More phones use Li-Ion now, but that's just because it's cheaper, the two types are very similar.

According to Wiki it was certain NiCd and NiMH batteries that had that issue

We will be needing really thick wires, and a nice house wiring, because let´s say a 3000mAh battery will be needing at least 360A to charge in 30 seconds. But a few years ago there was a new technology for lithium battery's which was silicon nano filaments/wires for the electrodes, that increased battery capacity by ten fold. Where is that?

Graphene, silicene, stanene, and others. In the future we'll probably see a combination of stuff used in a circuit. It all depends on whether they can process these in stacks, be stable, and have the properties they desire. Apparently to work around some of the issues with these materials they can use other materials along with it. In any case, this tech if it does eventuate won't be in the near future, and will probably be the next thing on from the next thing on from silicon. There is already the technology to charge a smartphone in 30 seconds... except you only get 20 seconds talk time! Having an example of the usage limitations currently would have been good! In other words, I was messing around with the 30 seconds talk time, but if they got 10 hours talk time it's better than 1 hour talk time.
