I've been reading products using graphene should start appearing next year. I think it'll be about 5 before we can buy 'batteries' made from it.

It's just amazing - a total game-changer.

Great read! I work for the USDA Snow Survey and maintain remote weather stations. This technology could (and hopefully will) be a HUGE benefit to us. Although... I have to say I kind of enjoy jumping on a snowmobile to replace batteries in the dead of winter!
