One of the biggest hurdles lithium ion batteries face is to overcome is heat. Today's electric cars use complex and bulky cooling systems to get rid of the heat, fact that also lowers the batteries' storage capacity and put weight on the car, lowering its mileage per charge. A new type of battery chemistry that doesn't overheat is now emerging from Leyden Energy's labs.
