Wow, impressive - long life too (500 cycles?)

Thanks.

It's lithium titanate. Should be a hell of alot more then 500 cycles.

Agreed. Here is an article from only a year ago claiming 150,000 life cycles for Lithium Titanate Oxide batteries with higher energy density than current production LiIon options. Wondering if Toshiba has licensed their tech?

Yes, even the original article i linked to stated 5000 cycles to 90% capacity.

How 'scary to charge' are lithium-titanate batteries compared to standard lithium-ion?

 

[GoElectric]

Sorry about the typo : "500 cycles".

I'd be interested to know how scary the charging is too - not up on the latest supercharge stations.
