New Li-Ion batteries get 10x boost

20 Dec, 2007
As Stanford researchers report, a heavy boost to current Lithium-Ion technology is just behind the corner. We are to expect up to 10 times more performance out of the same-volume batteries. As the new...

    Either the batterys will start to break down a lot faster, or the price of them will be huge. Either way, expect an increase in phone prices. That, together with that new law going around of banning 2 year contract deals, and the price of a new phone will get pretty high me thinks...

      It's about time. We've needed a battery improvement for so long now. This will certainly ease some constraints on new mobile technology - though expect manufacturers to quickly use up this extra power in an effort to produce faster and better-equiped devices.

          That's nice. I hope this invention actually makes it into production - unlike some many revolutionary ones that often don't due to politics and greed.

              oki you think this is a breakthrogh!!!??don't be stupid!!i've seen a documentary on discovery chanel made at the nokia factory where they were testing the phones..they had nokia X with a batery of 6500 mAh for testing but ,sold to people that same nokia with a batery of 900 mAh..so u might wonder ...way?MARKETING!!!today nothing is made to last because the big companyes they would not do so much money..imagine if you would buy a car soo good made and it will last for 30 years with no problemes ..where is the businnes in that??

              the technology exists..and available...but not to the ordenery people

              sorry for my bad eng ,i'm from roumania

                  This is research guys. Don't be surprised if we don't get a COMMERCIAL APPLICATION until 10 years later. Stupid StanFUrd.

                      lol that means nokia phones will have a talktime of 40 hours and sony ericsson phones will have talktime of 100hrz which is ridiculus.and nokia standby will be almost 3 months and sony ericsson stanby will be almost 6 months ..hahahhah thats definilety wat we want...a phone tht will never run out of battery ..lol

                          if u dunt need N95-8Gb dunt buy it.. if u have battery problem all u gotta do is upgrade it to the new firmware and also just buy the NOkiaN95-8GB battery and use it in the N95.. u can do that actually.

                            amazing. i cant wait to see how much tiny the batteries will get. but wht is the cost? are these batteries going to be more expensive?.

                              great! at least we r getting the benifits of the nano technology in our every-day practice!

                                wow, i am totally impress by this nanotechnology stuff. I can't wait to have one of these battery for my old N95. Maybe i don't need the new N95 8gb after all.

                                  i say its a good discovery. good thing. but soon mobiles would be needing higher battery power so this cycle keeps on going. men were, are and will not be satisfied. this is good.
