Metal Air Ionic Liquid Batteries – Next Generation of Batteries?

— thecoolgadgets.com — We have reviewed about the development of new alternative battery energy Zinc-Air batteries in the previous week. The Fluidic Energy has another solution known as Metal-Air-Ionic-Liquid (MAIL) that could simply improve energy storage by 11 times compare to standard lithium-ion battery.  ...

Ionic batteries could multiply battery life by 11

— electronista.com — A new development by partly government-backed Fluidic Energy could potentially extend the battery life of notebooks, cars and other devices well beyond existing lithium-ion cells. Known as Metal-Air Ionic Liquid (MAIL), it would improve energy ... (more) Ionic batteries could multiply battery life by 11

New battery technology could greatly improve battery life of mobile devices
Gadgetell — ... close to a day, or even multiple days.  It will probably be a while before we start seeing anything with MAIL batteries, but it might be worth the wait.  With Intel pushing it’s ULV chipsets, it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see standard laptops running for days at a time when combined with MAIL.  We can only hope that this, like so many other battery improvements, doesn’t end up falling away into obscurity or becomes to unfeasible.

Ionic Batteries can increase battery runtime by six times
PCLaunches.com — ... drying out is no longer a problem–but it also gets a big boost in energy density. “These liquids have electrochemical stability windows of up to five volts, so it allows you to go to much more energy-dense metals than zinc.” He says his research team will target energy densities of at least 900 watt-hours per kilogram and up to 1,600 watt-hours per kilogram in the DOE-funded project.” I am keeping my fingers crossed to run my notebook for whole 24 hours!

Ionic Battery Technology For The Future
Ubergizmo — ... We’ve seen laptop and computer technology improve in leaps and bounds, but one thing that’s been rather constant is the crappy battery life, thanks to lithium-ion technology which hasn’t been replaced just yet. Is that set to change? Well, Fluid Energy, a government-backed firm is certainly trying to do so. The new ionic batteries that it’s working on could increase battery life by up to 6 times, meaning we could have an average of 24-hour battery life, which is really cool. We’re certainly looking forward to the day where we can ...

Ionic battery could provide days of computing
MyCE News, Articles & Reviews — ... says the tech is being eyed for electric cars, but JK On the Run did some rough math and found that a laptop could gain six times the battery life from ionic technology compared to lithium ion — the standard for most notebooks today — in a Toshiba NB205 computer. There are other benefits, too. Compared to a lithium ion battery of the same size, Fluidic Energy says ionic batteries could be made for a third of the cost. And instead of using an aqueous solution as its electrolyte, ionic batteries use salts that are liquid at room temperature. As a result, they don’t evaporate ...
