incorrect values

Some values defined in column "Theoretical specific energy Wh/kg (excluding oxygen) are incorrect. For example, for Iron, value defined is volumetric energy density in Wh/l, but not in Wh/kg. Please, review and correct values respectively. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liudas Tumonis (talk • contribs) 10:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

inconsistent values

the article states the energy density of gasoline to be 44 MJ/kg. However, the linked article on petrol density lists 42.4 MJ/kg; at one of these is wrong.

Energy density depends on what is in gasoline. For example alcohol lowers energy density. Both values could be correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkn2 (talk • contribs) 12:23, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

broken link

Ref #1 leads to a 404 error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alondana (talk • contribs) 19:14, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

graph-table discrepancy

There are major discrepancies between the energy densities depicted on the bar graph and those listed on the table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.154.227.79 (talk) 21:44, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah the chart should sensibly be using the data from the table column including oxygen content - realistically they're going to contain impurities. (e.g. zinc air are much more comparable with lithium ion than one would think after a glance at the chart - at least in the mind of manufacturers) -5.66.106.4 (talk) 09:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the bar graph, it has no merit! Just look at Beryllium vs Lithium, no way. ElectroWolf (talk) 21:14, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading sentence

Misleading sentence: "Since oxygen is not stored in the battery, the theoretical specific energy excluding oxygen is 11,140 Wh/kg"

In fully discharged battery oxygen is stored in metal oxide. So fully discharged battery is heavier. 5210 Wh/kg would be better for Li-air. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkn2 (talk • contribs) 12:33, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edison battery uses Iron anode

Electrolytes not mentioned and equation with Hydrogen generation appears wrong (unless it refers to Iron alloys that store Hydrogen). Edison battery uses reversible Iron to Ferrous Hydroxide in Potassium Hydroxide Electrolyte reaction. "Rust" assumes reaction to Ferric Hydroxide which is non or less reversible. Also Ferric Hydroxide has a very low solubility limiting current flow. 75.253.119.222 (talk) 04:02, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Cathode Chemistry

The Oxygen electrode is totally ignored in this article. And I can't find another Wiki mentioning one, except Zinc–air_battery and Oxygen_reduction_reaction which aren't really related but should be linked. Fuel cell articles mention Palladium DiOxide but most (Air) Oxygen electrodes (like Nickel Oxide) are 300+ C due to Oxygen's high activation (energy) temperature and sluggish migration rate in solids. Also air is only 20% Oxygen (and Nitrogen and CO2)), how does the battery deal with that? 75.253.119.222 (talk) 04:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
