A team of researchers in China has unveiled an all-weather electrolyte designed to boost the performance of lithium batteries across a wide range of conditions. Scientists based in Shanghai and Tianjin report that batteries built with the new hydrofluorocarbon-based electrolyte delivered more than twice the energy density of conventional designs when tested at room temperature.
Beyond efficiency gains, the team says the chemistry remains stable in extreme environments, with batteries continuing to operate effectively at temperatures as low as minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit.

And yet, they’ll be banned in the US for (essentially) being “too good”. Yes I’m aware the reason that will be stated is for privacy/data mining or whatever like we don’t carry literal tracking devices with us 24/7.

OK, the source is [interestingengineering.com](http://interestingengineering.com) … so adjust your enthusiasm accordingly, to not more than 1% of the initial value.

If even 0.1% of the “battery breakthrough” I’ve seen posted on Reddit is true. We’d behsving 2000km range charging at 50 seconds to max…
