Advantages
Organic radical batteries are characterized by an extremely thin profile (0.3 mm), flexibility, very fast charge time (about 30 seconds), as well as a relatively high energy density (1 mWh per square cm). Their thin profile is designed to provide ease when integrating with circuit boards. In addition, the flexibility of the battery makes it more adaptable to different design constraints, such as curved devices. The battery also has a high retain of charge-discharge capacity, matching lithium-ion batteries at 75% of their initial charge after 500 cycles. The short charge time on the battery also makes up for the small amount of energy that it can store. Most importantly, the technology is welcomed by environmentalists because ORBs do not contain any of the heavy metals that pose the problem of proper disposal. ORBs are completely non-toxic and non-flammable and do not require additional care when handling.

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:
“For, the advantages which fashion values, are plants which thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets, namely. Out of this precinct, they go for nothing; are of no use in the farm, in the forest, in the market, in war, in the nuptial society, in the literary or scientific circle, at sea, in friendship, in the heaven of thought or virtue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To become aware in time when young of the advantages of age; to maintain the advantages of youth in old age: both are pure fortune.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“In 1845 he built himself a small framed house on the shores of Walden Pond, and lived there two years alone, a life of labor and study. This action was quite native and fit for him. No one who knew him would tax him with affectation. He was more unlike his neighbors in his thought than in his action. As soon as he had exhausted himself that advantages of his solitude, he abandoned it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
