Tesla announced a new battery invention: faster charging and discharging, longer lifespan, and cheaper price

When successfully applied to Tesla cars or any other battery-powered product, this will be the first major battery breakthrough of 2019.

The Tesla battery research team, with the project leader Jeff Dahn, recently applied for a new patent; They describe the chemical reaction in a new battery . As far as it is written, Tesla's new battery recharges and discharges faster, with a longer life span, and costs fall.

If you don't know, Jeff Dahn is one of the pioneers in lithium-ion battery research and manufacturing. The eminent physics professor, a member of Dalhousie University's Chemical Society, probably worked with Li-ion batteries from the day humanity invented them. He was the one who increased the battery life cycle, helping commercialize the feasible Li-ion battery.

Tesla's new batteries are charging and discharging faster, longer life expectancy and lower cost.

Jeff Dahn is now focusing on the battery's consistency and strength.

In 2016, Dahn left a 20-year battery research agreement with 3M, moving to work with Tesla. Elon Musk's electric car company invests in building a laboratory near the Dahn team. Since the partnership was in effect, Jeff Dahn is still tight-lipped about the projects he has done, to startle us with the new announcement.

Normally, adding a few electrolytes is a significant increase in battery performance. The usual electrolyte count is 5. In the new statement, Jeff Dahn's team said that they only needed two additional electrolytes - higher efficiency batteries, longer lifespans and lower costs.

The new patent also shows that two electrolytes added to the battery also apply to NMC batteries.

The new patent also shows that two electrolytes added to the battery also apply to NMC batteries - batteries made of compounds of lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt. Many other electric cars use NMC batteries but not Tesla, Musk's firm uses NMC technology for its other electrical storage devices.

So Tesla can apply two new electrolytes into both electric vehicle batteries and storage devices directly attached to the grid. If the battery is as good as they say, this will be a whole new leap, happening right in the beginning of 2019.
