1. Comment - 8 Hour Laptop Battery Due in 2006

   (Aug 25, 2005 - 5:08 PM)

   I don't get it - they're saying that li-ion battteries have 30 per cent more power - yes, but that's compared to nimh batteries - the batteries in the powerbooks are li-ion as it is. Of course they wil get better and better with time, but aren't they saying they're producing batteries right now that will hold a charge of about 6-7 hours?
   
   Further, I'm interested in how many Amp-hours/watts, because you can build a battery that will last for 100 hours if you want to - it depends on how much power is drawn and the size of the battery. I mean, look at the iPod Minis. It's not like it's difficult to produce a long lasting battery per se, it's a matter of making them small at the same time.
