Oxis Faces Personal bankruptcy A Month Right after Asserting 450 Wh/kg Cells

OXIS Vitality introduced a short while ago that soon it will start out offering its Quasi Sound-Condition lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries to shoppers for demo purposes, evidence of notion and demo techniques.

Those people batteries ended up promised to present electricity densities of 450 Wh/kg and 550 Wh/L (possibly suited for electrical aircrafts).
