University Lab Demonstrates Longer-Life Battery Cells for Grid Storage

Researchers reported stable capacity after several thousand charge cycles in a test rig built from off-the-shelf parts.

A university lab has demonstrated cells that hold capacity after several thousand charge cycles, using a test rig assembled from widely available components.

The team stressed that the result is a laboratory milestone rather than a product, and that a manufacturing partner would be needed to test the design at scale.
