Kazakhstani scientists are preparing to unveil their new invention – a battery of increased capacity, Tengrinews correspondent reports citing Nazarbayev University professor Zhumabai Bakenov. The prototype device will be available in 2016.

Now the scientists are working on improving the technology and creating a prototype battery with a theoretical capacity and operating time 15 times higher than in those currently available.

The scientist said that originally the technology was developed for use in large facilities with high power, in cars and renewable energy plants. “But, in principle, the batteries can be installed in handheld devices, such as laptops," the professor said.

He noted that such a battery can be used as a device to equalise the flow of electricity that comes from wind and solar plants, to store energy and supply electricity to consumers at peak times.
