Rapid Charging Battery, Coming Soon ***Confirmed***

[AccruedExpenditure]

NEC has developed a battery that is capable of being fully recharged in only 30 seconds. The organic radical battery can be charged to a similar level of power as nickel-hydrogen cells for portable MD players, digital cameras and other electronic devices.

The price will be around the same of nickel-hydrogen cell batteries, since it does not contain any expensive materials. NEC will first roll out the battery as a commercial computer emergency power source, later we will see hybrid gasoline/electric motors for cars, cell phones and just about anything else you would use a battery with. For once that damn energizer bunny will stop running.

Is it really **Comfirmed**?

Clearly, it isn't.

is it just abig capacitor?

I'd imagine any battery that would charge that fast to have a near zero internal resistance. That translates into a more fun battery! You can't get very much current out of today's batteries because of the internal resistance, but with a few of these bad boys in series I bet you could give someone a hefty zap.

Heh. now if they figure out how to make a 3000mA*h AA that charges in 30 seconds, I'd be sold.

hmmm, i dunno. that article was released on april 2nd. i'd be weary.

[Analog]

doesn't say much about the electrical details, such as capacity etc.

gotta love chemistry...

(sorry my major, so when it and computers cross i think it's pretty cool)

Just go rooting around in old electronics. We were taking an old IBM server apart (it took 7" floppies), and found a couple of .6F capacitors in it. Now those make for some good nipple shockers...:Q

heh. My old Sony reciever (a gift from my parent's attic) has two massive caps. The are about half the size of a 12oz soda can. I opened it up to replace a switch. When I saw those bad boys, I went and got some gloves.

Yeah, that's about how big these were, although a little larger in diameter.
