Batteries are no longer just AAA batteries for your flashlights or remote controls. Batteries are BIG today. They are even replacing and disrupting power generation. Batteries are also making electric cars possible.
Today’s Lithium-ion batteries with its long life are giving new life to solar power, and creating amazing new project possibilities. The 100-year-old technology, electric cars are also getting a new lease of life with Lithium-ion batteries. Here we talk about battery size, weight, and ranges. I will discuss more on electric vehicles in a separate series of episodes.
Photography and good camera used to be an exclusive tool for professionals but today cameras are everywhere, tomorrow it will be batteries in all our appliances.
Today, we are even talking about batteries in homes as the new whitegoods. In South Australia, the government even subsidizes 10,000 homes to install batteries. Finally, I discuss the transformative power of batteries in 3 fundamental parameter—prices, lighter, long life many more cycles.
I think the battery price will eventually hit $50 a kWh—unimaginable yesterday but soon a possibility. Just don’t be ready for tomorrow, just stay ready.
