NASA's SABERS project is developing solid-state battery packs that are lighter, safer, and have more discharge power than lithium-ion Batteries. These batteries do not contain liquids, eliminating the risk of overheating, fire, and loss of charge. The experimental batteries have been able to produce a discharge rate 10 times higher than any other battery on the market and can store double or even triple the energy of lithium-ion batteries. The SABERS team has partnered with Georgia Tech to improve the batteries further, focusing on how the cells change during operation and understanding practical manufacturing and design configurations.
