Is this chemistry considered safer or more dangerous than lipo?
From a comment under the video of createthis:Lurkin said:I'm trying to work out the physical difference between regular lipo and these "graphene" batteries other than hype or assumption. I'll keep reading the rc forum, someone will have gotten curious enough to disassemble one at some point.
I suspect it will just be a variant of lipo just with more graphite or graphite used in a different manner.
Lurkin said:I agree its an exciting development either way, because there is definite benefits over ordinary Lipo.
But it's important to understand the difference because if it's unclear what the difference is, there's no understanding to compare to another battery or version, graphene or not.

Edit: Just seen a fourth. I take it no one searches before posting threads nowadays

Most RC lipo has had the reputation of being made with dogshit quality materials. So improved cycle life was always possible just by improving the quality of the existing design, without needing any new tech.

I really can't see any of the major 18650 players being at all interesting in what Turnigy is up to - they're leagues ahead in lithium ion technology.
