24M has made some very interesting advancements.
Energy density improvements. As high as 660 watts per kilogram.
Cold weather performance to -40 c
Easy recycling.
A long video but it covers a lot of the problems that engineers are facing.

Amazing video, thanks for posting that.
Electric Viking has a 10 minute video that summarizes the 24M tech.
Not a solid state battery.
Can be used with all battery chemistries.
It’s a battery structure breakthrough.
And a new electrolyte chemistry they are calling “Eternalyte”.
Improved cold T performance.
Recharge 15% to 80% in 5 minutes.
Recharge better on 400 n 800 V chargers (don’t need 1000MW charger).

Read an article the other day about vanadium batteries. An old tech built in the 80s. Sounded like a cheap, easy solution for long term, slow charge/discharge battery storage. One of the points, didn’t wear out like lithium batteries, made it sound like it was infinitely rechargeable.
I like the idea of flow batteries because the potential energy stays in the separate chemicals as long as there is no flow. So a problem like Super Storm Sandy that flooded New York would not have a massive battery discharging uncontrolled through seawater.
We have little power plants with lead acid batteries. But even those with a dead short can completely burn down a building. Imagine a whole field of mega packs discharging due to the switch room being under salt water.

These battery breakthroughs are like cancer cure breakthroughs.
Very hard for a lay person to know if it is for real.
Sandy Munroe is legit though.
Would they really build something like that with no breakers that would open up on high current, high temp or something?
