New battery hits 85% charge in 6 minutes without rapid degradation

SMRTR summary

Researchers at Adelaide University developed a battery that reaches 85% charge in just six minutes without rapid degradation — a long-standing obstacle in EV development. By targeting only the electrode surface rather than the entire electrolyte, the battery retained 76% capacity after 500 fast-charging cycles, potentially enabling EVs that charge in minutes.
