You could get fantastic speed with a capacitor and functionally infinite charge\/discharge capability, but with a rather small amount of total power OR you could something with a lot of power but the charge\/discharge was limited and the number of cycles quite finite.  If this product can break out of this paradigm and give high power AND high charge\/discharge (and one would like to hope it also includes a very high number of cycles) then we might be on the cusp of a huge change in world order.  Of course, if the price is so astronomical that no one but NASA can afford to buy them (hello fuel cells!) then it won&#8217;t make no nevermind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small in size, big on power: New microbatteries a boost for electronics http:\/\/news.illinois.edu\/news\/13\/0416microbatteries_WilliamKing.html I haven&#8217;t looked at the paper so don&#8217;t have an opinion on the actual technology, but the idea is grand.
