New Laptop Batteries to Last 8 Times Longer Than Current Crop [Laptops]
Gizmodo — ... at Hanyang University in South Korea have developed new Lithium batteries that can last a whopping eight times longer than today's models. They've achieved this by using cathode materials in the batteries, replacing less-efficient graphite with more-efficient silicon. It's all very scientific, I'm sure, but it all boils down to this: you'll be able to watch more movies on your laptop on an airplane before your computer dies and you get stuck reading a book. Everybody wins! [Far East Gizmos] ...

New battery technology lasts up to 7 times as longer than traditional batteries
CrunchGear — ... Researchers in South Korea, led by one Prof. Cho Jae-phil at the Hanyang University, have developed a new type of lithium battery that lasts as long as eight times as long as traditional lithium batteries. So, for example, your laptop that gets five hours of battery life all of a sudden gets 35 hours of battery life. That’s significant, yes? ...

Finally a new notebook battery technology that promises longer life
jkOnTheRun — ... A professor in Korea is claiming that his department has developed a method for using silicon instead of graphite in the construction of lithium batteries resulting in the 800% storage capacity increase.  No word has surfaced indicating when this technology might be commercially feasible so for now we'll have to settle on keeping those big honking batteries needed for long life.  I have a feeling that this technology, if true, might be awfully expensive.

Laptop Batteries to Last 8 Times Faster than Current Models
Mobilewhack.com — ... 3 hours of juice, which is far under my needs. But it looks like that might change in the future. Some smart researchers at Hanyang University in South Korea have new Lithium batteries that can last eight times longer than current models. How did they do it? By using cathode materials in the batteries and replacing the less-efficient graphite with more-efficient silicon. Does that mean I am going to get a 24-hour battery? Well I certainly hope so! via fareastgizmos Tags: battery , Portable Devices , south korea
