So far that has been the dominant approach to the technology, which is mostly in the modeling stage. ORNL researchers took a different tack by evaluating how lithium-ion batteries fare under extremely high power draw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EVTOL battery analysis reveals unique operating demands.
