Solid State battery for framework laptop?

Framework Laptop 16

Yeah, at the end framework laptop has just avg battery life now with the new 13th gen. That’s a fact. Before it was horrible, now its average. Your results are fine for you, but it’s your specific usecase and doesnt matter at all.

You can read tests and there its clearly showing, that the frameworklaptop has not great battery life. There are many other with same battery-size and similair specs and they have just higher batterylife. And in the end, customers dont care if some other laptops uses bigger battery. it’s not unfair to compare a 13" laptop with a 60wh battery with another 13" laptop, which has (lets say) a 70wh battery. Because that’s the point, it uses bigger battery and framework should it too. Thats frameworks fault to not use bigger batteries.

On the 16" they should use a bigger battery and also on the 13" they should. But they can’t, because i guess it has no free space ??

So and that’s where solid state batteries comes in. With it it could be easily possible to use a 99wh in the 16" and a 71wh in the 13". That would result in good batterylife.

Only to be said. That’s the initial topic :smiley:

I feel like the amount of units Framework ships is still small enough to scale into solid state early on…maybe in partnership with a company like Prieto Battery? Cuz PB is already nearing production as a supplier of batteries for Black & Decker.

Yeah, with all the safety concerns with fires, expensive repairs, and general harm to the public, solid state would help alleviate some of the battery problems and dangers. Still never going to be implemented anytime soon. Most electric car manufacturers are known for being lemons. They are certainly not going to play with experimental stuff until they have the basics down. Phones and laptops will be the same. No one wants to deal with lawsuits and bad publicity. Especially if they are investing a lot of time and money into it.
