They might make race cars that run on them but I can't see any other type of vehicle running on them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 1:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's 2:1, that means that it's, according to this, 166.66 lbs?<br><br>But yeah, apart from that, I agree]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bertross]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 9:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just did those numbers in my head to show that even if you changed that numbea lot there would still be no way to make it practical.

At the time (1993) the batteries were extraordinarily expensive (about $40K for 5kwH) but they also had amazing energy density (much better than lithium ion even).  Now granted this was a long time ago and things might have changed, but the biggest challenge with silver-zincs (aside from the cost element) was that they only lasted a few cycles when deep discharged.  For solar car racing we would get maybe a dozen or two cycles before having to toss them away for a new pack.  I wonder how the life cycle has improved...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[FN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2008 10:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[More on the solar car here in case you're interested: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_%22Maize_&_Blue%22_University_of_Michigan_Solar_Car_Team" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_%22Maize_&_Blue%22_University_of_Michigan_Solar_Car_Team</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[FN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2008 10:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b8/Test_chassis.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b8/Test_chassis.jpg</a> <br><br> Is that you?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[steven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 12:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[ 	Nazeeri, Furqan?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[steven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 12:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[*  Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Softbank Capital<br>* President / CEO / Chairman at Pivot Solutions<br>* CFO / EVP at Eze Castle Integration<br><br> Rich boy!!!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[steven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 12:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Steven, that's Jeff Reece in that pic...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[FN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 3:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow.

What real-world improvement in storage capacity are we talking about here?<br>3) initially they will be offered as a premium upgrade, which doesn't sound like it's gonna be hugely popular to me (or cheap to the laptop manufacturers).

One thing is the cost of the materials. Zinc & Silver are not the cheapest materials. More expensive than lithium. They had already promised summer 08, and now they pushed it back more than 6 months. As much as it would rock to have, if it worked as promised - I have this feeling that its going to come out right after the Experia X1, Meizu M8, Palm OS 2 and Duke Nukem Forever.<br><br>I hope I am wrong.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MadMike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 12:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just think, you could Bake your lap and Galvanize your package -SIMULTANEOUSLY-!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wonkydonkydotnet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 12:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[Extended run time would be nice, but more than anything else... the cell stability gives the concept its greatest appeal to me.

In addition, no thermal runaway and no decline in the total energy of the charge with succssive charges. In addition, I believe there will be credits issued for the value of the silver when spent batteries are turned in for recycling for new ones.  C'mon ZPower.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[seneca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 26th 2008 9:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ZPower promises to deliver Silver-Zinc laptop batteries in 2009]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/zpower-promises-to-deliver-silver-zinc-laptop-batteries-in-2009/</guid><description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.laptopbatteriesinc.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.laptopbatteriesinc.co.uk/</a> Cheap Laptop Battery UK Laptop Batteries]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[toni]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2009 10:24AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
