DC to DC conversion? What is that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericg33 (talk • contribs) 05:00, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

"As with all chemical-hydride-based energy carriers, lithium borohydride is very complex to recycle (i.e. recharge) and therefore suffers from a low energy conversion efficiency. While batteries such as lithium ion carry an energy density of up to 0.72 MJ/kg and 2.0 MJ/L, their DC to DC conversion efficiency can be as high as 90%" From context, it's about the overall efficiency as an energy carrier. Batteries are highly efficient but low density energy carrier, while LiBH4 has low efficiency but high density. High conversion efficiency = easy to recharge/recycle. 03:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.80.51 (talk)
