Lithium ion batteries are unreliable, slow to charge, tend to burst into flames, and for every dollar spent on them globally, about 70 cents goes straight into the pockets of Chinese corporations.
That’s pretty much the problem with modern rechargeable batteries in a nutshell.
The additional issue with lithium-ion technology in particular is that aside from being all of those things, it’s also the most popular format for portable energy storage.
The reason? Lithium happens to be the most energy dense of the popular battery metals and because of that, any search for a viable replacement has been appropriately stymied.
Energy density equals range/operational duration, and when it comes to the modern consumer, that rules all other metrics.
Sure, they’ll set your car or your pants on fire, and sure we’re adding to the wealth and influence of the CCP with every battery we buy, but with the economics of the technology being what it is, human nature dictates that we simply won’t look for an alternative in earnest until something truly paradigm shifting comes around to completely alter the equation.

This Is The Holy Grail Moment We’ve Been Waiting For
Well, that something is very possibly now here.
Graphene-aluminum batteries, which contain no lithium at all, and are made of some of the world’s highest quality, not to mention cheapest graphene, are already rolling off the assembly lines at a small Australian company based in the coastal city of Brisbane.
These batteries don’t simply expand or improve upon the performance of lithium ion… They’re in a completely different category altogether.
Here’re just a few tidbits to give you an idea of what I’m talking about:
- 2-3 times the charge capacity
- 3-5 times the charge cycle lifespan
And the craziest number of all:
- 70x the charge speed of today’s benchmark.
Put all that together and what do you get?
The Most Powerful Battery The World Has Ever Seen
Well, installed in an EV, a graphene-aluminum battery pack would be sufficient to propel the car 1000 miles between charges, for a total service life easily exceeding 1 million miles.
So for most drivers, that means they’ll be able to charge their cars about once per month, with the charge delay reduced from 30-40 minutes to less than a minute.
Just imagine being able to spend less than a minute fueling your car every month and never having to worry about any part of the powertrain failing, literally for decades.
Any one of those improvements would already be enough to alter the nature of the EV industry, removing doubts and obstacles to adoption for millions of prospective users.
But all three, taken at once, is a bonafide disruption to the entire lithium-ion industry.
Once these next generation batteries get through testing and begin appearing in commercial products — which will probably happen next year — the lithium ion business will quickly start to feel the pressure.
It’s therefore quite possible that by the year 2030, when lithium-ion batteries are projected to hit a quarter trillion dollars in global annual sales, the entire industry will be in ruins — supplanted by graphene-based super batteries.
This Could Be Empire-Ending For The Chinese
Of course, it’s still early, and as you know, few of the graphene promises you may have heard about over the last decade turned out exactly as you were led to believe they would. But all of that is in the past now.
Graphene is now emerging as a potential mainstream raw material for a wide spectrum of applications.
One look at the headlines and you’ll see that graphene and graphene research is ramping up like never before.
And while there are new graphene based technologies on the way for everything from biotech to aerospace, it’s these advanced batteries which may make the biggest splash of all — simply because they’re almost universally applicable.
That Australian company that’s doing all this work remains unknown to the retail investment public at the moment, but that too is about to change.
It’s already public, with shares changing hands on two North American exchanges.
What Everyone Else Doesn’t Know… Could Help You
The problem is, outside the industry, the advancements I just mentioned are all but a secret.
Well, now you’re in on that secret, which puts you squarely into the top 1% of battery investors.
There is, of course, a lot more to this, with lots of details and facts which will continue to astound you.
