News Battery Binding Material Swap Delivers 10% Endurance Boost Say Researchers

[Admin]

Research found cells made with PP tape showed significantly decreased self-discharge (up to 70%) and increased cycle life (up to 10%).

In those graphs it appears Apple was already doing something different.

Apple has the same peaks and valleys, just the vertical scale is different. Maybe it's a thicker tape, but it's still PET. (Not PP)

It amazes me that it's taken this long to make these kinds of discoveries, given how enormous and highly-competitive the battery industry is. I get that it's non-obvious, but I'd have expected someone to think of characterizing all of the different materials involved, or perhaps to investigate the discrepancies between the behavior of a manufactured cell vs. the same materials under experimental conditions.
