I came across this article:

It's a good roundup of all the different lithium ion chemistries and how
things have been improving of late, and how that impacts applications
such
as phones and EVs.

" That means that the capacity of your current batteries is over 1.5
times what they would have held a decade ago."

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Not exactly Moore's Law, is it. Of course it is still worth having. In
the absence of real physics/material breakthroughs (like, for example, a
single layer atomic structure like graphene, but an insulator) it's
getting close to physical limits, although cost will continue to come down.


Funny you should mention that, but:
