IBM Battery 500 Lithium - Air

Have developed many different types and models of electric cars today, but they still have obstacles that are generally on the mileage that can be done and the means of charging the car battery is still very rare. To that end, IBM's deal to create a battery that has the ability to cruise far enough, which is 800 km for all the contents and called the Battery 500 (according to the distance traveled in miles).

Battery called lithium-air, the borrowing oxygen from the air when the car was examined digunakan.IBM since 2009. This battery technology is not only succeeded in creating a battery that is lighter because of the high energy density, also prevents the use of heavy metal oxides.

For this, IBM took the experts from the two Japanese companies, the Central Glass and Asahi Kasei (manufacturer of lithium-ion battery electrolyte) and a prototype is expected to be made ​​final later this year.

Okey, from which data are available, now the question is whether IBM can reduce the cost of production is not much different from conventional batteries?
