This one has it all except unknown power density. Behaves like a cap.

Lets hope this is the real deal

Makes me think of Robert Murray-Smith's new SuperCapacitor technology using aluminum and graphene ink.  Who knows, maybe the Stanford team is "borrowing" ideas from him.  After all, the only graphite material they could possibly be using in a flexible battery IS graphene. Any other form of graphite other than loose powder would snap with the slightest amount of flex.  I can't remember exactly what Robert is using for his electrolyte, but that may be the ONLY difference between Stanford's battery and Robert's. If it's close to the same, Stanford can forget about a patent!

I knew this was going to happen like 5 years ago already.the demand for quik-charge on cellular phones is going to kick Li-ions out the scene soon just watch.aluminum is way cheaper than lithium too

At last the problem of batteries catching fire when you drill through them has been licked! We'll all be able to sleep well tonight.

Are we to believe that this amounts to a sheet of Al wrapped around a rod of carbon (part of a welding rod) with a bit of cloth soaked in salty water in between?
