What backs it

University of Cambridge researchers found that maintaining lithium-ion batteries at constant pressure around 12.5 bar could double their lifespan, with results published in Nature Energy.

Worth noting

Technology has been tested only at laboratory scale and would need scaling for commercial battery applications.
