    One thing to note, is that it may charge quick but that doesnt mean it will last long though

    Anyways, its good to see companys are always trying to make existing things even better

    Re: Toshiba's SCiB batteries landing in March

    Would be really good to have a laptop battery that can be charged to near full in a few minutes rather than hours. Even mobile phones.

    Hopefully they will last long too, and not discharge as quickly as they charge.

    It probably will be about 18m min before they even turn up in smaller peripherals - if they are going to be used in that field.

    What on earth would be the point of that?

    Going by the Toshiba Press Release (Toshiba : Press Releases 11 December, 2007) the standard SCiB cell is 4.2 ampere hours at 2.4V. Their standard module (designed for industrial appliations) is 4.2Ah at 24V.

    Of course they are not going to discharge in 5 mins. What I mean is that they should last about as long as the current generation of whatever tech battery is commonly used and not be significantly shorter.

    Do you always take everything absolutely literally ?

    Re: Toshiba's SCiB batteries landing in March

    No i don't take everything litteraly (although perhaps i do more than most) but there is no way that quote could be read as you meant it

    Volume of SCiB = 76570mm/cubed
    Volume of a standard 2.4v LiIon = 26950mm/cubed

    4200/76570 = 0.0549mA per cubic mm
    800/26950 = 0.0297mA per cubic mm

    So alhough not conclusive, it looks like the power density is a lot better with these new batteries

    This is looking even better now!

    Re: Toshiba's SCiB batteries landing in March

    Just remember, that is a standard LiIon battery and used in some pretty old mobile phones. Newer phones probably use denser cells.

    Re: Toshiba's SCiB batteries landing in March

    This'll be fine but how well does it respond to overcharging? Many gadgets on the market can suffer if you leave them plugged in for charge for too long.
