Researchers figure out how to get fresh lithium into batteries

SMRTR summary

Chinese researchers found LiSO2CF3 can rejuvenate lithium batteries by delivering fresh lithium to used cells. Tests showed a lithium-iron phosphate battery restored to 99% capacity after 15% loss, maintaining 96% capacity after nearly 12,000 cycles with periodic rejuvenation. However, this method requires specially designed batteries and has only been tested on certain chemistries, not those common in consumer electronics.
