Do we know what voltage this is it? Amp hours is kind of irrelevant otherwise.

Previous announcements have mentioned 0.8v from a single cell, so assuming the same voltage, 1400mAh, that's roughly 1.1 watt hours. For comparison a common CR2032 coin battery is roughly 0.6 watt hours (3 volt * ~225mAh). This ink battery cell is 100cm2 (10cm x 10cm), and needs to be exposed to the atmopshere to self-recharge, so it's not going to have nearly as many applications, though I guess one could argue a self-charging battery wouldn't need to have the same total capacity of a battery that doesn't self-charge.

Do we know yet how many recharge cycles the ink battery is good for? It'd also be good to know how long it took to charge this up to this 1400mAh capacity from moisture in the air, and what the conditions of the air were (humidity, temperature, etc). It's an interesting technology, just hard to think of the "killer app" would be for it.

Do we know what the manufacturing cost would be on something like a 10cm x 10cm ink cell. Sorry for all the questions, I don't follow SOR very closely, just curious.

Killer apps
1. Remote sensors...i.e. military, emergency services
2. Tracking, i.e. replacing those chunky sports people trackers on their backs
3. Anything that needs batteries underwater??? Does this work underwater?
4. Personal Health trackers, and or implants
