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:
“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)
“But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“... is it not clear that to give to such women as desire it and can devote themselves to literary and scientific pursuits all the advantages enjoyed by men of the same class will lessen essentially the number of thoughtless, idle, vain and frivolous women and thus secure the [sic] society the services of those who now hang as dead weight?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
