According to LG, when these flexible batteries make their way into mass production, you can expect to see an explosion of electronics in new form factors.

With all the battery issues these days. is that the right word to use?

But how much do they cost and weigh vs energy capacity (Wh) and electrical output (Wpeak)?

The Form-factor is appealing because they can be wound into any free space, almost regardless to size.

They should use this technology to make longer lasting batteries in devices.
How you may ask?

Implement the battery around the bezel of the device to provide that extra juice one might need throughout the day.

A battery that can be tied into knots should have no issue with a few bumps, and unless you drop it onto a saw or something I don't see a leak happening.

LG is in everything! They make TV's, Smartphones, Air Conditioners, Microwave ovens, Vacuum cleaners, stoves, dryers, refrigerators! And I'm that's not even half of what they make.

This is very cool, and should fit most anywhere. The "battery around the bezel" idea could free up all kinds of internal space in a device for other things.

Pretty amazing if they can get them to be that discrete.

That would make changing the battery a pain the in A$$

Dear LG,
Forget textiles. Go leather, put it in a snazzy belt! The larger you are, the more battery time you have. Thank you.

How about they use this and design a carrying strap battery. It would provide a battery and the user could wear it around thier neck... (well, as long it it's not toxic or something)

This would be great to put into the straps on a backpack, plenty of length would mean plenty of power and you could use the backpack to charge your phone/iPad etc..

Damn, had the belt idea too the moment I read the article; now you beat me to the patent office

HAHAHA!!!
