New lithium-air battery design intensifies power output

Researchers have created a battery design with power capabilities that could compete with gasoline according to the University of Cambridge.  The Lithium-oxygen battery is expected to be 90 percent efficient and recharge more than 2000 times.

Scientists caution that the design has only been developed in the laboratory as a working model and many technical challenges remain.  “A practical lithium-air battery still remains at least a decade away” according to researchers.
