Fuel cell batteries for your laptop
Posted by Dominic Basulto
If you need more than two or three hours' worth of power from the batteries powering your laptop computer, NY1's Adam Balkin has some good news for you:
"IBM and Sanyo have teamed up to create a prototype fuel cell battery for laptop computers that promises up to eight hours of life – that's double, maybe even triple what you get now. If this all sounds familiar that's because this is the same type of fuel cell technology being tested out for cars right now, such as the Toyota Prius."
The article points out that Hitachi and Toshiba are also working on fuel cell batteries that may be able to power cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players.
