Recharge A Battery in Seconds

[mavroxur]

[citation][nom]jacobdrj[/nom]Well, if we are talking about this technology increasing the 'speed' and nor the capacity, my phone, for example, has a 1700 mah battery. My laptop has a 6600 mah battery. It is larger, by a factor of 5, but considering there are reasonably priced power supply units for computers that can deliver over a kilowatt of power from AC to DC, I don't think charging a single laptop battery would be too much of a difference. Perhaps 1 minute, rather than 10 seconds, but that is still within the realm of reason, and still a huge improvement. Even if the time was reduced from 1.5 hours to 30 minutes, that is a big deal in productivity improvement. I have to say, this has been one of the more interesting discussions I have had on this subject[/citation]




I agree that there are reasonably priced power supplies that can supply 1kw DC, but they cost significantly more than a $50 notebook AC adapter, by a couple hundred dollars. Even if they increase the efficency of batteries to take a charge faster, you're still talking an astronomical amount of current for a 1 minute charge on a 6600mAH battery. Is that a microwave sized charger for your laptop, or are you just happy to see me?
