Future Technology - Fast Charging Batteries
Coated —
... large batteries such as those that will power plug-in gas or electric cars could be recharged in just a few minutes.
The improvements in battery charge times are due to a coat of lithium phosphate which forces the battery to charge in short but intense bursts.
Researchers indicate that they have already licensed the new technology to unnamed companies and expect to see this technology enter the marketplace in the next two to three years.

Lithium-ion Battery Recharges in seconds, thanks to MIT
Tech Ticker —
... a big electric car could go full in just a few minutes.
However, one problem I see here is faster the battery recharge; faster the discharge will be too. Now I wouldn’t want to carry my phone’s charger everywhere because it will potentially reduce the battery talk time even though it can back up again in few seconds.
The technology nonetheless looks promising and the implementation in the real world will be the key which will probably take more 2-3 years.
