Captery battery even comes with a special, dedicated charger
Startup seeks to scale sustainable battery innovation via crowdfunding
Captery promotes eco-friendly supercapacitor technology designed for reuse and reduced waste
Cleaner energy storage solution with faster charging and longer life for everyday electronics
Italian startup Captery claims to have developed an AA and AAA battery which charges in under three minutes and lasts for decades.
Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, the Captery Ultra uses supercapacitor technology rather than traditional lithium or nickel-metal hydride chemistry.
This design allows near-endless charge and discharge cycles without the wear that limits standard batteries. The result, Captery says, is a power source that can be recharged around 500 times longer than a conventional rechargeable cell.High sustainability
Supercapacitors store energy in a way that’s different from regular batteries, relying on physical rather than chemical processes. As a result, they recharge very quickly and degrade much less over time.
