Researchers in Japan also are testing fluoride-ion batteries as possible replacements for lithium-ion batteries in vehicles.
READ MOREBoth NiCad and lithium-ion batteries can be charged 1000+ times if handled, used, and maintained properly. So it''s not necessarily a given that USB-C rechargeable Li-ions will last longer. However, the reason they generally do is pretty basic: NiCad batteries suffer from the well-known memory problem. Also known as the ''memory effect'', this
READ MORESodium-ion batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that operate in a similar way to lithium-ion batteries, but use sodium ions (Na+) instead of lithium ions (Li+). The cathode is often made of materials like sodium cobaltate or copper hexacyanoferrate. The anode can be made of materials like hard carbon, soft carbon, or titanium-based
