Currently the world is on a bit of Lithium-Ion battery revolution and people feel that having it is a bit of an achievement. While I really do not blame them for feeling that way, one must understand that the future definitively lies in the Fuel Cell technology which will eventually take over every aspect of our lives. The great aspect of this technology is not just the fact that it is far superior to anything that we have today, but it is also green and very eco-friendly. Russian scientists are using the exact same technology in laptops to extend the battery life.

Right now my laptop gives me a back up of around 3 hours or so with a 12 cell Li-Ion battery and it works pretty fine. But obviously I want mare and this seems to be just the right answer. The Russian scientists have created a battery for laptops for ten hours of continuous work. The block represents a fuel cell created using nanotechnologies. According to scientists, by the end of 2009 fuel cells will be launched into production with 10 thousand monthly outputs. This means that in the next few years we might actually get our hands on this technology.

The new battery has been developed on the basis of the so called fuel cells, which differ from ordinary batteries by substances for electrochemical reactions to come from outside. Such a battery life is unlimited and it needs no reloading like accumulators. Lev Trusov, the man behind the technology, believes that the battery for a modern laptop should weigh no more than 100-150 grams. Developers have done their utmost to make the battery harmless for users and that is a real important aspect as well. Soon, we could all own a laptop with this battery and that indeed is exciting!
