Whoa. This seems really important. New study suggests that changing the charging protocol from the presently common constant current charge to a high frequency pulsed square wave current could DOUBLE the lifetime of Li-ion batteries.

i.e. the 8 year life of an EV battery back could be extended to a much more reasonable 16 years. That's huge.

BESSY II is not far from here. I grew up in the quarter of Berlin where it stands and now that. If that turns out to be true, I'd like to think of it often.

Thanks @mauve

When do we get subtoots in Mastodon, btw.?
