"it says can keep a device charged for 50 years."
On a device that gets replaced every 1-3 years? 🤔
Better be user replaceable or that's a lot of energy being stored in landfills.
Turning every landfill into a fission reactor is certainly one way to fix the landfill issue
Would be cool for long term, low power devices like sensors embedded in concrete in bridges and building structures for monitoring stresses.
Make devices BYOB (Bring Your Own Battery)
On a device that gets replaced every 1-3 years? 🤔
Who says the devices are going to be replaced every 1-3 years after we solve those problems like today's non-replacable short-lasting batteries?
The battery tech isn't the part that needs replacing. ;)
Smartphones are almost perfected now, the only "parts" that are making them obsolete after 2-3 years are batteries and operating system, both should be regulated to be changable and available for third-parties to make replacement.
Planned obsolescence.
