... thinking in who's interest it's improve batteries just now and how much R&D money they are ready to put there.
Technically, a capacitor and a battery isnt the same thing.
Supercapacitors has been used for long as a replacement for small batterycells in memorybackup.
But when a tiny nonrechargeable lithiumcell has been able to hold the memory for 10years, then a supercap of today only holds the memory for about a month without a recharge.

So a capacitor with a capacity similar to a battery , would be a huge step forward in *replacing* batteries.
