Brother Industries has a plan, and it doesn't involve ink for once -- the Japanese printer company's developed a set of prototype batteries you simply shake to charge AA and AAA models are already in the works, though you shouldn't expect to slot them into cameras or R/C cars, as the miniature electromagnetic induction generators inside are designed for infrequently used gadgets and provide as little as 10mW (or as much as 180mW) when shook.

By the time you shake these, the lawn need a cut.]]>Jul 17th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/Jul 17th 2010 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/Jul 17th 2010 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/Ten years ago there weren't even smart phones. The Palm Treo 180 (800 mAh) and Blackberry 5810 (900mah) came out in 2002. The T-mobile/HTC Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition also came out in 2002, but that did have a 1500mah battery.

But the battery size doesn't tell everything. You need to know the weight and volume of each pack to really see the improvements.

In terms of the laptop battery market, the batteries have definitely been improving (and I'm sure this will also be the case for the li-poly pack in most cell phones if you could find the specs for them). Panasonic has already started producing 3100mah 18650 cells. In 2000, the largest 18650 cells were in the 1900mah range.]]>Jul 17th 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/Jul 17th 2010 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/17/brother-shakes-up-expectations-with-vibration-charged-low-power/
You never need to charge the batteries? Do you mean to say you just found a solution to the "perpetuum mobile" ?
