#2This is a classic case of a submission title taking liberties with the meaning of the article it links.
This submission's title: "New lithium-ion battery 2000 times more powerful, recharges 1000 times faster"
The actual title: "New lithium-ion battery design that’s 2,000 times more powerful, recharges 1,000 times faster"
The missing word is "design", a word that is crucial to the meaning of the article. The article discusses a design for a battery, not a battery. How important is that? Here's the last sentence in the linked article:
"For this to occur, though, the University of Illinois will first have to prove that their technology scales to larger battery sizes, and that the production process isn’t prohibitively expensive for commercial production."
It's a design, not a battery.
The solution to this problem, as I have pointed out many times before, is to copy the article's title, do not invent your own.

That sounds like a battery to me. The new design has actually been built and tested. The quote you pulled out refers to scaling it up to things like lasers and F1 cars. A button-sized battery sounds fine for a lot of electronics today. Just not an F1 car.

If HN would not force you to reduce titles to The original is 95 characters. "design that’s " and two comma's in the numbers get dropped and we're down to exactly 78.
Dropping words from a title in order to fit the 80 char limit is a bit of an art if you don't want to change the meaning, and making a new title is frowned upon because then you care not using the original title. Effectively you can't post an article with a title > 80 characters and not break the rules.

For some part I agree with you but it's difficult to make the cut down to 80 characters for titles.

#6To be clear: high power density, but similar energy density to current batteries.

"New lithium-ion battery design 2000x more powerful, recharges 1000x faster" fits with out altering the meaning at all.

#8Design != Build != Shipping
I love this research but have seen similar articles for the past decade. At scale production is hard, just ask A123.

It sounds like they've developed a prototype, which is further than a design but also not a production model.

Agreed. But it is a functional battery more than it is "only a design"
