Tomas, I am not as up to date on battery technology as I would like to be. Could you or anyone else update me on these new type batteries and battery technology in general? Keith if this is in the achives, sorry I still haven«t been to them yet. Maybe this weekend or next I will get some free time.

The new crop of electric batetries is upon us. These are the usual Li-Ion batteries, but with a twist - ability to charge to 80% capacity in 1minute. Also these have excelent lifecycle - only loose 1% of capacity after 1000 cycles The energy density is the same as usual Li-Ions (not very much, when compared to gasoline energy density, but sifficient). Article also says that these will debut in 2006, probably in hybrid cars first. Also has the potential to revive the electric cars This is the kind of breakthrough I've dreamed for a long time. Generaly speaking, such breakthroughs can change the entire landscape of electricity usage. http://www.toshiba.co.jp/about/press/2005_03/pr2901.htm http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7081 Also a long'ish discussion on slashdot: http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/05/03/30/0050228.shtml?tid=126&tid =137 -- Tomas Juknevicius _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
