Batteries that charge in 2 minutes

Researchers have found a way to accelerate battery charging, and interesting proportions: about 2 minutes to charge a Dell latitude d510 battery to 90%.

The principle is simple: reduce the distance for the electrons. Overall, the loading rate is related to distance, and time increases exponentially with distance. The new structure, which uses tiny polystyrene spheres (1.8 microns) coated nickel cathode and anode to approach, therefore serves to reduce the distance for the electrons such as the Toshiba satellite a205 batteries.

The new structure, which uses tiny polystyrene spheres (1.8 microns) coated nickel cathode and anode to approach, therefore serves to reduce the distance for the electrons. Earnings are sensitive to lithium ion batteries like the Dell latitude x200 battery, with a 90% load in less than two minutes and a loading of 75% in 1 minute.

Interesting technology, the structure is not complicated to produce and mass production should be possible soon. Remains to be seen if the technology is not safe long-term health of the Nikon d60 batteries.

Of course, that ultimately pushes us up against the issue of supplying sufficient current in the short time frames needed to charge the battery this fast. It might work great for a small Casio np-30, like a cell phone, but could create challenges if we're looking to create a fast-charge electric car.
