Shipment will start from December 2004 onwards. Accomplishment of higher capacities in secondary batteries continue to be required from the market, due to higher performance and enhanced features in mobile products such as note PCs, digital video cameras and mobile phones."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/sony_lithium_ion_batteries.jpg" /><br /><br />Yes! More power to the people! ;) Although the article is a bit technical in the details, it is great to hear that a large company as Sony is slowly progressing towards the better lithium ion batteries from the old nickel (NiCd and NiMH) based batteries. It can't be too long before the fuel cell batteries enter the market now, can it? :lol:

About time. :roll:

I'm still amazed at how many devices out there still use the NiMH battery technology. However, I give Li-Ion and Li-Polymer a few more years, before it gets replaced by a newer technology. Nanotech and biological batteries have already been devised. The future in extreme battery power is near. ;)

Darn, for a moment there I thought that was an AA Li-ion rechargeable.

Me too... I was getting excited.
