I'm not gonna even click, that headline is some incredibly bad pop sci

I know it's an awful headline. I'd still be interested in what people think of the content, because there's something legit in there it seems, but this article (which is published on a number of websites and may be a fairly unedited press release) doesn't explain much. The headline writers seem to see the word "battery" and run with that, even though it's misleading.

So, this magazine isn't one of the ones that has a hard prohibition on rephrasing headlines, from what I can tell.

You could simply edit the title to better reflect the actual content of the article.
