Assuming it's true (always an issue with press releases), it does bring up a few questions, such as the effects of rapid charging on battery lifetime.

I'm thinking that this rapid recharge will end up significantly reducing the effective life of the battery.

Generally the faster the charge the less effecient as well. Meaning you lose more energy as heat in the process.

You might be right. I think time will tell.

As consumers and conservatives, I think it’s okay to watch these things and be a bit open to the fact they might work. That’s the only reason I post this stuff. Hoping they do work in the long-run, because we can’t depend on our enemies...

No mention either on just how expensive this battery pack will be to replace.
