Better Batteries: New Technology Improves Both Energy Capacity and Charge Rate in Rechargeable Batteries

Scientists are developing a new battery such as the ones found in cellphones and iPods, this battery should have a ten times longer life, and a ten times shorter recharge rate. The battery should be able to last for longer than a week and charge for 15 minutes. The scientists are planning to improve this battery in to ways Less recharge time, and longer life. These batteries will be lithium-ion batteries that will last much longer. These Lithium batteries charge through a Lithium chemical reaction were Ions are sent from one side of the battery to the other. Even after 150 charges the battery is five times more effective then a brand new pair of batteries today say scientists. This battery should be seen on the market in about 3 to 5 years.

This article is reliable because it was written by scientist and inventors, who work at universities, This article Is also reliable because it was found on the Science Daily site which is reliable, and all the article were written by scientists. This article was amazing but also made a lot of sense, It's easy to understand and fascinating.



I was amazed, by this new discovery, because the batteries we used for cellphones and iPods last shortly and in long recharging hours, this new invention will really improve the technological advancement of the world, and short battery life will never be a problem again. The title of this article intrigued me, because I wanted to know more about batter life, and how it can be improved. I was positively surprised when I heard that battery life will soon be ten time longer than it used to be. I found this article interesting, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know what batteries will be like in the future, 3-5 years from now.
