Via The Register
Toshiba has developed a Lithium-Ion battery capable of being charged to 80 per cent of its full capacity in under 60 seconds.
Toshiba also claimed the new cell offers a greater longevity than today's Li-ion batteries, losing only one per cent of its capacity after 1000 charge cycles, according to the results of its own charge-discharge testing.
The battery can operate at temperatures of -40°C, though it's limited to 80 per cent of capacity in such conditions, compared to 100 per cent at 25°C. At 45°C, its longevity begins to tail off, losing five per cent of capacity after 1000 charging cycles.
The company lauded the new battery's eco-credentials. With such a fast recharge time, it consumes less energy than today's Li-ion cells, leading to reduced carbon-dioxide emissions, Toshiba claimed.
