How long do you think it will be until there's a battery type made of fully renewable resources? (self.everythingscience)

I saw the recent article about the Zinc-air battery and about a year ago I've heard of a solid state battery technology. It got me interested in thinking that there might be a battery made in the future that could be made exclusively from resources that can be grown or renewed. How many years do you think we're off from getting that kind of battery invented?

Iron oxide batteries are possible today, they just suck

Yeah, the question should be a good battery. You can use a potato as a battery, it's just not a good one.
