Interesting new developments in battery technologies

From the discussions of the AMD Turion64 news post, i thought it would be good to start a new thread for the few interesting things i found on new batt technologies.. here are a few good read..

'Toshiba has developed a Lithium-Ion battery capable of being charged to 80 per cent of its full capacity in under 60 seconds. Filling it up takes just "a few more minutes", the company boasted today."- http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/03...i-ion_battery/

"Industry's First Tin-Based Anode Battery With 30 Percent More Capacity With the growing demand for smaller digital devices with increased functionality, the trade-off-until now-has been battery life. Sony Corporation today announced the industry's first hybrid lithium ion rechargeable battery. Dubbed NexelionTM the new battery utilizes a tin-based amorphous anode; translating into a 30% increase in the capacity per volume ratio compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, and will be commercialized initially as a battery pack for Handycam® camcorder products"- http://www.physorg.com/news3061.html

Wow! That's interesting! I think Sony's using that in their network players. Very quick recharge times!
