Toshiba Battery Charges in a Minute

Toshiba has developed a lithium-ion battery for use with laptops and other devices, that charges in only minute and loses less than 1% of its memory after 1000 charges.

“The new battery can be refilled to 80 percent of capacity in one minute, Toshiba claimed, significantly less time than the one-to-four hours needed for lithium-ion batteries now in use.

According to Toshiba, the secret’s in the negative electrode. “Nano-particles prevent organic liquid electrolytes from reducing during battery recharging,” said Toshiba in a statement. “The nano-particles quickly absorb and store vast amount of lithium ions, without causing any deterioration in the electrode.” “

  1. new battery at 1:00am 22nd October 2007 Lenovo will not gurantee us that we have cells that are not defective. In fact they have confirmed that our Lenovo battery packs have the same battery cells that are know to be contaminated. I am very upset that Lenovo is not doing a similar recall of the known contaminated cells! http://www.batteryfast.com/compaqhp/nc6000.php
