Why The US Military Chose Silicon-Graphene Batteries. Take your personal data back with Incogni! Use code UNDECIDED at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: http://incogni.com/undecided The US military just approved funding for a new silicon-based battery. NanoGraf’s silicon oxide-graphene (SOG) batteries aren’t just an upgrade to lithium – they’re versatile enough for everything from phones and backup storage to EVs. They’re for STUBs—small tactical universal batteries—like radios and other compact devices. So, why go for high-tech batteries in small gear, and why silicon oxide and graphene? Could this be a compelling next-gen battery for the rest of us?
