Plastic Battery from Brown University lasts 100 times more than a standard battery

Awesome new technology from Brown University, this will change a lot of industrial and consumer goods in the future.

The result is a hybrid. Like a capacitor, the battery can be rapidly charged then discharged to deliver power. Like a battery, it can store and deliver that charge over long periods of time. During performance testing, the new battery performed like a hybrid, too. It had twice the storage capacity of an electric double-layer capacitor. And it delivered more than 100 times the power of a standard alkaline battery.
