Did you read the linked article?

> Batteries are typically charged and discharged through a constant stream of power, which causes problems like SEI layer formation that causes the battery to degrade over time. The BatteryOS system, by contrast, takes an active role in managing what’s happening inside a Li-ion battery, which not only lengthens the life of the battery, but also gives it the ability to store 10 percent to 40 percent more power.

Obviously the proof is in the results, but that's what they're claiming.

Active power management is nothing new to lithium ion batteries.
You're right, see for example http://www.qnovocorp.com/

Guess execution is king ;)

I found this useful paper from qnovo that describes the charging process they use. It's very interesting.

"Guess execution is king ;)"

Always has been, always will be.

if execution is king, then marketing is a dark prince at least!
