Looks like more work needed so nothing soon but new battery technology could do a lot to help with future metal detector applications.

 Amazing!  A bendable detector would suit me perfectly.

Being totally off-grid, with a wee over 1 tonne of lead-acid battery that will need replacing soon, battery tech like this gets me excited.

Hey, what about sugar batteries?  They seem to be on the horizon also.  Just google sugar batteries to learn more.

Cool tec .flexable batteries no worries about braking one.

Sugar, sounded crazy but is logical once you`ve read the info. Full of high density energy to start with, just love how tech and the people that develop it, revolutionises how we do things.
