They are very safe and do not combust upon short circuiting or runaway heating, but the limiting factor has actually been the CAPACITY

@Frankenstein

EV cars don't use 18650 cells as their power source, they use prismatic or larger cylindrical cells. They also didn't increase the battery life at all with these, they just merely increased the battery lifetime, so you will still go the same distance, but you aren't going to have to replace your battery as quickly (though most current cells meet lifetime requirements regardless.

@West Hubbard
1100mAh and 2500mAh 18650 cells are different types of cells. The former is made to be able to give up its stored energy quickly. Where the 2500mAh cells are designed for long life, but can't do high current discharge. They are different types of cells for different purposes]]>Aug 11th 2009 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/

Actually, thats the major advantage to Lith-FE-PO4 batteries.

Today, when I've got 2.7TB of storage attached to my computer with about 2TB of it used, no, it isn't super huge.

No @TB is not Super large space. when i read articles of holographic and or BR or quadlayer DVDs with space like 500gigs per disk...thats Super Large space.

It has nothing to do with some conspiracy of holding back technology.. What all you 15 year olds don't understand is that it takes many, many years for new technology to go from the laboratory to commercial production, and most of the time it fails along the way. Manually producing a few working units is far from creating an efficient, high-quality, high-volume production technique that is financially feasible. And that is just manufacturing the technology, and ignores all of the market factors that can kill a technology before it is even manufactured.]]>Aug 11th 2009 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/Aug 11th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/Aug 11th 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/Aug 11th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/11/new-sony-lithium-ion-batteries-promise-4x-the-capacity-99-rech/
