Tesla’s battery research partnership with Dr. Jeff Dahn of Dalhousie University has announced 4 breakthrough batteries. One of these breakthroughs is a 4 million-mile battery, however, 2 of the remaining cell prototypes are even more impressive.
According to a new research paper published by Tesla's battery research team head by Jeff Dahn, the group has discovered a new nickel battery chemistry that can last 100 years. The new battery couples the high energy density of nickel batteries with the long life cycle of lithium iron phosphate cells.

Tesla has renewed its contract with Jeff Dahn and Dalhousie University. The partnership between Tesla and the Canadian University, which started on June 8th, 2016, held the intention of developing longer-lasting, lower-cost EV batteries.
For years, Tesla has been working with Dahn’s research team to develop new strategies for EV battery development and longevity. One of the most notable was an electrolyte solvent, which Dahn’s team submitted a patent for on behalf of Tesla in the company’s search for a 1 million mile-capable battery cell.
It appears that the partnership has been extended, based on a new announcement from the school.
