There are some articles in the Spanish press.<p>For instance, the newspaper &quot;El Mundo&quot; claims that the Chinese company Chint have paid 18 millions for the 10% of the Spanish company (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.elmundo.es&#x2F;motor&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;11&#x2F;56bc7d6aca4741e31e8b461f.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.elmundo.es&#x2F;motor&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;11&#x2F;56bc7d6aca4741e31e8b4...</a>).<p>If those batteries work as stated, it sounds really cheap.<p>It says that in a second phase the Chinese are going to invest 350 millions.<p>Anyway, it seems that they are really building a factory in Murcia.<p>As always, take extraordinaries claims with a grain of salt but looks like there is really something here.

Is this &quot;introduces&quot; as in &quot;issued press release&quot;, or as in &quot;now shipping in volume&quot;? They write <i>&quot;The production of the battery is planned in two phases. First a plant in Yecla, Murcia, will be built accounting for an investment of 30 million euro and whose first production line will be ready by the end of this month.&quot;</i> If they&#x27;re not shipping samples next month, it&#x27;s bullshit.

These are 1000 Wh&#x2F;kg while lithium batteries are 100–265 Wh&#x2F;kg.

Searching the internet it&#x27;s amazing how little there has been published about this. Could be a hoax indeed.<p>I found a little video of the official product launch: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;video.news.com.au&#x2F;v&#x2F;433181&#x2F;Spain-New-graphene-batteries-unveiled-in-Madrid" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;video.news.com.au&#x2F;v&#x2F;433181&#x2F;Spain-New-graphene-batteri...</a><p>Still not sure about this thing beeing real or not :)

If it does not heat when short-circuited (as stated), where does the energy go? Does it only change the chemical structure of the battery, or what?
