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:
“If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“There is no one thoroughly despicable. We cannot descend much lower than an idiot; and an idiot has some advantages over a wise man.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“We work harder than ever, and I cannot see the advantages in cooperative living.”
—Lydia Arnold, U.S. commune supervisor (of the North American Phalanx, Red Bank, New Jersey, 1843- 1855)
