Stanford University to Develop New Battery Based on Edison’s Battery

LA Times reported that Stanford University researchers are working on new battery based on Thomas Edison’s battery.

As quoted in the market news:

Unlike modern lithium-ion batteries, moreover, the Edison battery is unlikely to explode in a crash. But because it takes so long to be charged and releases its power relatively slowly, it has been displaced by lead-acid batteries in conventional automobiles and by lithium-ion batteries in electric cars and most other applications that require regular re-charging.
