But it likely also means a lot more potential for 'splody-ness in the event there's an internal short or physical damage to the battery, since it means all of the stored energy can be dumped a lot faster.

Any rumors about what the tech actually is? If it's still subject to most of the same pitfalls as 2018 lithium batteries, hopefully whatever the new fanciness is will let it last for more cycles when not charged at ridiculous rates.

DancinJack wrote:I get that people want their batteries to last as long as possible, but charging your battery with a rapid charger (say ~3A/5or6V) most of the time isn't going to drastically change the lifespan of your phone battery. Getting it way too hot while charging? Sure. Leaving it plugged in while it's at 100 percent (and charging all the way too 100 percent all the time?) for hours and hours and hours? Sure. Discharging all the way to 0 every time? Sure.

It's the "$1000 device" part I have trouble with. I hope I never pay that much for a phone.
