Man, I actually /like/ this! ...it feels like the code got a ton cleaner.
..it certainly looks a lot better.

Anybody care to illuminate exactly what changes were made?]]>Apr 10th 2008 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/10/researchers-improve-li-on-battery-life-increase-capacity-30-per/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/10/researchers-improve-li-on-battery-life-increase-capacity-30-per/Apr 10th 2008 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/10/researchers-improve-li-on-battery-life-increase-capacity-30-per/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/10/researchers-improve-li-on-battery-life-increase-capacity-30-per/
What I don't love is how long it takes to go from theory/testing to Walmart/Target.

Where I the nanocell batteries I read about a couple of years ago - charge in seconds and I believe they were supposed to be 10 times as powerful as lithium cells?

Where are the plastic batteries I read about a year ago - also using a honeycomb design for quick charging?

Was it Lithium Polymer w/Iron or Silver batteries that were going to hold us over till nanotube batteries hit the market?

Lots of claims of incredible battery technology in the last few years - none of it is in my phone, laptop, car, flashlight... and I doubt it will be any time soon.]]>Apr 10th 2008 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/10/researchers-improve-li-on-battery-life-increase-capacity-30-per/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/10/researchers-improve-li-on-battery-life-increase-capacity-30-per/

As it's made now, the Argonne material can be completely discharged in about three hours--fast enough for laptops but far too slow for a car. Discharging rates will need to be at least three times faster, and likely more, for the technology to work in plug-in hybrids, vehicles in which the battery can be recharged from a conventional electrical outlet.
