  1. Definitely interesting news! However, I fail to understand how the cells could at the same time last 200K cycles with 500 C and have potential dentrite formation? Typically dentrite formation destroys the cell in 50–200 cycles which would be a bit shy of 200K cycles, right?

  2.  @BillMitchell-lm8dg  I agree, you just need at least double amount of cells in a battery pack. However, that means that even smartphone class devices would need BMS and cell balancing implementation which would increase costs for the end user device. If the final battery pack can take even 500C charge and dischager speeds, that would be insanely great tech nonetheless. With 500C charging power, you could basically regen brake EVs in all situations.
