Li-Ion Batteries with Nearly Instant Charging and 300% More Power

Hmm…the things I could do with this.

According to Slashdot, “Altair Nanotechnologies claims to have found a way to reduce Li-Ion recharge time to minutes, as well as increase battery power by 300%.” I like that idea. A development like this could make a number of technologies more viable, especially mobile WiFi and VoIP. Imagine a laptop that could run all day long, and could charge up again in 5 minutes. Imagine a handheld that, under normal usage, would run for a couple of weeks. It’d be just like having all the power of my Zodiac 2 (in the mail) and the battery life of my old Handspring Visor Deluxe, which could run for weeks on 2 AA batteries.
