South Africa's Cape Times is reporting on an hybrid battery "breakthrough". This is hybrid as in a battery that can charge and discharge simultaneously, not hybrid as in vehicles (the article can be read here).
The new battery was developed over seven years by Jan Human (nice name) of Somerset West. He claims the battery is scalable and the hybrid principle could be used in batteries that power everything from cell phones to vehicles to industrial sites. Human claims to have "found a new 'pathway' in the battery which allows it to charge and discharge at the same time," Impossible?
IF they can validate the claims... this will be news.
