Stopped reading after: “increase in battery capacity and charge time was achieved through a “brand-new superconducting electrolyte formula” that results in improved conductivity.”

I guess the source, author or both don’t really care about technically accurate terminology. If it’s good enough for Star Trek, it’s good enough for us.

But it's got electrolytes. It's what batteries crave!

But what are electrolytes?

Not only that, it’s superconductive too! Totally not a recipe for short-circuiting the battery or anything like that.
