AltairNano battery technology... - RC-Monster Forums

Here's a link to a video from Yahoo Current Driver that features a car from Phenix Motor Cars that uses "NanoSafe" batteries.

Ya, i've seen all the videos to do with AltairNano batteries/ Pheonix Motors.

The nice thing about the Altairnano Nanosafe battery, is that they actually have a 'prismatic' cell format, which is the way to go for RC, and electric vehicles (however there are pro's and con's for both in EV's).

They also claim 4000-Watts/kg continuous, which is always nice ;)
Which usually means lower cell Impedance, which translates into better performance for RC cars.

It will be nice once batteries don't have any voltage droop under load, has a super flat discharge curve. Or maybe we will have the new Super capacitors that several companies are working on(~1,000,000 cycles, 10,000W/kg, etc.)

Or maybe we wont even be relying on energy storage, maybe we will have the so called "Zeropoint" or "Vacuum" energy being utilized? :) Imagine endless energy at hand.

The batteries sound great. Almost to good to be true.

BTW: Kinga is hot!!!!!

Well, ask yourself... what is truth? Then ask yourself how much your brain can handle? ;) They are VERY promising batteries, there is one major downside (doesn't there always seem to be one!) is the energy density. However, these are brand new technology and is bound to only get better! And after further inspection, it appears that they can discharge at a continuous 50+C discharge rate.
