Li-Ion With 300% More Power, Minutes to Recharge

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-i-see-it dept.

Battery Nut writes "Altair Nanotechnologies claims to have found a way to reduce Li-Ion recharge time to minutes, as well as increase battery power by 300%, according to this press release. Seems they have received some good feedback by certain experts about thier work: "Two eminent experts in battery technology, Dr. K. M. Abraham and Dr. Vassilis G. Keramidas, have expressed strong support for Altair's work. " So is it a new revolution in battery technology, or hopeful hype? Stay tuned, their quarterly conference call is Thursday Feb 24th at 11AM." Anyone else think snake oil?

    It's those inconsiderate jerks who read the article before they post. Now all of us who posted first can't read it.

    Oh CRAP! I tried putting a BatMax sticker on one of these new Super Li-Ion batteries. . . . there was this blinding flash of light and I got sucked into some bizzaro alternate universe where George Bush was re-elected! CRAP CRAP CRAP! This SUX!
