Some great points from @ordos:

@ordos Excellent news.

The significance of this NR cannot be understated:

1. HPQ Silicon / Novacium are not just declaring results, they have real life results with a full cell battery and with most capacity restrictive form factor (cylindrical) for the most tested and well known 18650 battery. With this NR they also revealed actual performance of a real device by a real prospective customer, further confirming as they stated multiple times, the performance demonstrated translates into real application directly with the stated capacity gains

2. 500 cycles is not partial cycle tests, those are full depth of discharge rigorous tests 100% charge to 0%. Real life applications would have much higher number of partial charge cycles

3. Minor tweak would make the remaining capacity > 90% after 500 cycle

4. The remaining capacity at 85% is still higher than NEW comparable high performance graphite batteries. That's WITHOUT the tweak

5. These results are all for just the Gen3 material

6. The fact that HPQ Silicon / Novacium decided to go this far in cycle testing for Gen3 and the last news release, pertaining patent for scaling up the semi-continuous / continuous production of the SiOx material from quartz rock to final SiOx battery anode additive material, further confirms that HPQ Silicon is proceeding to commercializing Gen3 material as is already. The market for this material is 3C (computers, consumer, communications) markets and is already massive

7. Another reminder that this material can be added to any existing lithium ion graphite anode batteries out there WITHOUT ANY equipment changes. This is further confirmed by the large number of new NDAs
