Toshiba Battery Recharges 90 Percent In Five Minutes
Much research has gone into making a lithium-ion battery that recharges faster. One organization previously reported a battery that they could recharge, in the lab, in around 30 seconds.
It appears that Toshiba is now relasing a commercially viable quick-recharge battery for forklifts. While this does not directly apply to camera batteries at this time, the technology may be adapted to our use in the future. Toshiba's Super Charge ion Battery, or SCiB, can recharge to 90 percent of its full capacity in less than five minutes and has a life cycle of more than 10 years, according to Toshiba's press release. http://www.manufacturing.net/Toshiba...aspx?menuid=36

Dear Alex,
Thank you for your insight. I was most amazed when I read about a Lithium-Ion battery that could be recharged in 30 seconds. Of course, to my knowledge that battery has not yet been released to the public. It will be nice when we have high-capacity, fast-recharge batteries, and chargers to match. I feel that we can usually find five minutes on set to recharge a battery every few hours or so. The other interesting item about Toshiba's new battery is that they are quoting a 10 year battery lifetime.
