Have you even dreamt of a battery that can recharge itself as quickly as possible? Well Toshiba is now proud to announce its SUPER CHARGE BATTERY, which only need 60 seconds (1 minute) to obtain 80% of a full charge capacity.
I wonder how long it will take before we see these in our phones?

No i have'nt actually seen or heard about those but their has been plenty of news on mobile charging stations.Would be an excellent idea to put chargers in payphones though!

Small and light, the new battery offers a high level of storage efficiency. The prototype battery shown by Toshiba was only 3.8mm thick, 62mm high and 35mm deep yet had a claimed capacity of 600mAh.
The new battery fuses Toshiba's latest advances in nano-material technology for the electric devices sector with cumulative know-how in manufacturing lithium-ion battery cells.
A breakthrough technology applied to the negative electrode uses new nano-particles to prevent organic liquid electrolytes from reducing during battery recharging. The nano-particles quickly absorb and store vast amount of lithium ions, without causing any deterioration in the electrode.
The excellent recharging characteristics of the new battery are not its only performance advantages. The battery has a long life cycle, losing only 1% of capacity after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging
The new battery operates well in extremes of temperature. It discharges 80% of its capacity at minus 40 degrees centigrade, against 100% at an ambient temperature of 25 degrees centigrade, and loses only 5% of capacity at temperatures as high as 45 degrees centigrade after 1,000 cycles. These characteristics assure the wide applicability of the battery as a power source for products as diverse as hybrid vehicles and mobile phones.
Toshiba will bring the new rechargeable battery to commercial products in 2006. Initial applications will be in the automotive and industrial sectors, where the slim, small-sized battery will deliver large amounts of energy while requiring only a minute to recharge. For example, the battery's advantages in size, weight and safety highly suit it for a role as an alternative power source for hybrid electric vehicles and it is particularly suited to the quick storage of energy produced by regenerative braking in locomotives and automobiles. This speedy and highly effective recharge characteristic of the battery will support CO2 reduction, as the battery can save and re-use energy that was simply wasted before (through braking).
Toshiba expects that the high energy density and excellent recharge performance of the new battery will assure its successful application as a new energy solution in many areas of society.

@ EastCoast: I read about this, close to a month ago, on engadget.com, I would have posted something here, but I assumed it had already been mentioned.
Edit: Just found the article, with the exact same pic as the top of the page,
HERE

chually I have heard f something very similar to this, but it was done to a 9v battery and capicitors, you can build them your self, i thought about making them to charge my phoen in emergentcy as they charge in like 20 seconds
Check out my sales  I am a mac fanboy  . I will honor Laffens gift of P990 flip free avartar, but I sold the p990  |
