Project Ara To Use SolidEnergy's Revolutionary Battery Technology In 2016

[Guest]

Module makers for Project Ara are already lining up to create third-party modules for the platform, and one of the more interesting ones is Solid Energy.

Finally!

Keep going gents... we are watching this project with great interest...

And here I was hoping to see ugly and buggy customized phones sometime this year. Project Ara, doing "Coming Soon" even better than Microsoft.

I'd hate to rain on Solid Energy's parade-in fact I want to encourage them, the battery comparison image above is a bit exaggertated. You are comparing a single battery cell with no add on to other battery packs which contains protect circuit boards, battery management system, and other extras that makes them bigger physically.

I also don't think that this tech will be limited to Project Ara devices. When improved batteries are developed, all device manufacturers will use them.

It is a due time for Intel to go into energy storage business and make some nano-scale battery tech.

I'm eager to see the types of pricing manufacturer are going to want for Project Ara components.. I have a feeling they're going to be pricey.

Puerto Rico will find a way to fuck this up

 

[ZolaIII]

Finally useful & ready for commercial use battery tech! I don't know about pricing but it will be a must have for phone makers pushing ridiculous display resolutions on they big phablets.

The million dollar question though is how spectacular do these batteries explode when overheated or punctured?

One of the biggest limitations for battery capacity is keeping them safe. The greater their storage density, the more spectacular they explode if they overheat or get punctured.

I assume they have a plan though seeing as automotive batteries in particular have to be crash resistant.

Now to move away from Lithium.

Good to see that really awesome project just watched some devcon videos, Google finally uploaded them http://projectaraforum.com/tag/project-ara-developers-conference-2015-all-videos.65/
hope they will launch soon.

Yezz will offer at MWC 2015 modules compatible with the modular smartphone from Google, One hundred modules have been accrued by Yezz.
