its funny how you can understand a lot of things in japanese without actually having a large vocabulary.

the better the battery you can get the more wasteful you can be with it]]>May 31st 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/more-scientific-black-magic-promises-to-double-li-ion-battery-ca/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/more-scientific-black-magic-promises-to-double-li-ion-battery-ca/
1) Cost! Using silver you can make a much better battery. But since silver is crazy expensive, no one really wants to make a battery made out of it since no one will buy it due to the cost. This can be said of any battery technology that requires some kind of expensive esoteric chemical or element.
2) Physical issues. Current batteries expand and contract during charge/discharge, so the materials need to be sturdy enough to withstand this. That's one reason why graphite is currently used. Or you can have a battery that runs very hot during discharge. Or maybe it can only be recharged 100 times. Maybe it weighs too much. etc etc

You just can't predict how these things will go. Lithium Ion batteries needed about 15-20 years from its initial discovery to get to a commercially viable product in the 1990's. We will probably have to wait that long for the next revolutionary battery like the switch from Ni-Cad to Li-Io. ]]>May 31st 2009 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/more-scientific-black-magic-promises-to-double-li-ion-battery-ca/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/30/more-scientific-black-magic-promises-to-double-li-ion-battery-ca/
I don't know what idiot wrote that article but its not about getting 1000 shots from your camera OR making your toys run longer..
The holy grail here is batteries for Electric vehicles and Household power supplies..

The biggest stumbling block for the take up of Electric vehicles and home power generation systems like PV and wind is the limited storage of power.. this is why so many companies around the world are trying to develop better power cells. because the company with the highest power density will be able to sell millions and millions of cells to the car companies... its the new black gold.
