Also, I did work on battery techs in my lab, back in the late 90's... You can focus on the energy differentials in different ions... You can focus on the improvement in function of the "gel" or the electrolyte... Change the materials used in the electrodes ? There are a few other things you can improve, too... that I did improve... back then. But, you still have to be able to make it cheap, get it to work, and pack it into the same form factor as they use now... or it will never sell. Battery tech mostly isn't going to drive redesign of the devices that use batteries... no matter how much sense doing that might make from a battery makers perspective... because the battery just isn't really that much of a consideration for the product designers... or the end users. And, then, why would existing battery makers... want to help facilitate ANY change ? But, there are thresholds... Make a "big enough" leap forward... and they'll watch it, wait, still refuse to change... and wait for your patents to expire ? The point is... what you expect to be true about better mousetraps... requires the existence of a free market. Reality is... we don't have a free market.
