I understand you want to focus on the positives of a technology in your videos but sometimes it feels like there are very clear unavoidable negatives that seem to be completely ignored, such as cost and complexity of repairs. In these cases I have to assume that these negatives are legitimate since they cannot be explained away. A balanced view of technology is important.
@WulfgarOpenthroat
Interesting and probably very useful in the future, but I'm concerned about how they'll react to damage and mechanical fatigue(along with it's impact of battery performance and life), as well as how long they last and repairability. They seem great until you realise that your device or vehicle is garbage the moment the battery dies, then the only winners are the big corporations fighting against Right To Repair so you have to but a new replacement as soon as possible.
@nil981
This technology just sounds too good to be true. What is the life cycle of these "structural batteries"?
@guilhermeit1
Does this kind of battery suffers from dendrite formation?
@SteveSiegelin
I'm in the process of trying to replicate these to make some wings for an RC plane I have built! I'm excited to test it because I've had this theory for a while trying to use bag batteries but they were never light enough. Coupling these with flat capacitors inside the wings I'm hoping to be able to supercharge the batteries from panels using the flat capacitors.
@MILENEO3
Of each 10 "revolutionary" technologies, maybe only one or less become technically or commercially feasible, so I wait resting in a comfortable chair.
@rodanderson8490
If/when this technology is ever available, it will still be too expensive for practical applications. Just like with solid state battery technology. In most cases COST will drive the choice. There are still more ways to drive down the weight and cost of lithium-ion batteries while increasing energy density.
@oraora8214
The only way I see this working is if this battery has amazing number of cycles before it significantly degrades. You don't want to replace your entire car simply because the battery have degraded 3 years after purchase.
@ameyab930
What would a lightning strike deal to the structural battery?
@morenutshell1565
What happens in an accident, if the sking is the battery and puncturing a battey can cause fire, then does the car getting scratched in a fender bender make it a fire hazard?
@franckzippo
what happens in case a tiny hole is made on the structure of the car / plane ?
@walbermr
how hard is to recycle when the battery is depleted?
@VashGames
What about compromised or short circuited cells from wear or being in an accident?
@byface9759
How many charge cycles does it require to be at 90% efficiency? And how expensive is it in comparison to current batteries/chassis combined?
@pascalwiery7129
This is definitely an interesting subject. I think these batteries have a lot of potential, but it will take a lot of time until we start seeing them in actual products.
@thepiehalo
This seems like a very nice new piece of hardware but seems like they're trying to ignore the bad parts until the tech is more mature. One of the most important things about Tesla efficient battery banks (Just an example) is that cells that burn out or break can be fixed relatively easily. It seems like storing energy on frames like this would make it hard to repair /replace bad points.
@trophywolfe
So about crashing what would happen if the insulation got damaged in some sort of collision?
@amiraizen6973
Will the batteries function when the temperature drops down at high altitude?
@juliuszkocinski7478
Really interesting piece of technology! However I can only imagine it in supercars, where every gramm counts - Every part need to be at least kind of custom build - which doesn't even compare to mass production of standard 18650 li-ion batteries. Unless there's major lack of metals used to build conventional batteries - I can't see structural batteries being priced anywhere near them
