My buddy @peroxycarbonate has an idea for a battery design that should be cheaper and more energy efficient than lithium-ion batteries & could make electric cars competitive. http://www.bhauth.com/files/fbd5da5a/tech%20catalog.html …
I don’t know the “base rate” of how many new battery designs get proposed a year — how many are we talking?

I see 5+ international headlines for the next big thing per year, so it's likely thousands. It's a very active field.

It depends on what you mean by a "new battery design". There are new battery papers published every day, but most of those are slight variations on existing designs. The level of novelty here is much greater and fairly rare.
