Honey wake up, it's the weekly miracle battery tech!
I bet they'll conveniently forget to make them have 20 year lifespans when they start actually selling them. Because otherwise that falls into "too good to be true" territory and this is Samsung, a large tech corporation.
There are probably more asterisks than starts inn that statement.
Is 20 years the average? The maximum under ideal circumstances? What would be the effective capacity of the battery at 19 years? What is the maintenance required?
Finally I will be able to drive a thousand miles instead of walking them.
And I would walk 500 more
Almost downvoted you because now I have that song stuck in my head.....

How about phones? Surely Samsung would put their own new battery tech in their own phones right?
Where would you drive in your phone, bro? Don't be silly.
Based on the article they are more expensive than li-ion batteries (for now), so probably not yet. And the article doesn't mention anything about this, but I imagine there would be scaling issues.
Do you know how big and heavy that phone would be with a car battery in it?
yeah but imagine the screen size though
A couple of these would be perfect for my flight sim!
You can even take it with you on the train!
If it doesn’t fold into eighths I’m not interested
Especially if the battery is 600 miles long like the title says.
I don't think solid state batteries provide as much benefit in smaller devices.
Size constrains probably.
SSB can be a quite a lot denser compared to existing ones. Up to 2.5x if I recall correctly. Also less flammable. Edit: consider -> compared
That sounds like an excessively large battery.
According to Samsung SDI's VP, automakers are interested in its solid-state battery packs because they are smaller, lighter, and much safer than what's in current electric cars. Apparently, they are also rather expensive to produce, since it warns that they will first go into the "super premium" EV segment of luxury electric cars that can cover more than 600 miles on a charge.
Apparently not, though this is all marketing speak
How bloody long were they before they made this smaller one?
Wow! A battery that can magically transport itself 600 miles! What a world we live in!
Or, you know, it's a no sense claim with made up numbers.
I have been seeing multiple battery tech claims per week, ever week, for the past 30 years and well over 99% of the claims are bull. Dumb claims like this battery goes 600 miles" tells you all you need to know.
Show me the money, then we'll talk
