Finding Replacement Lithium-ion Batteries
Researchers at Arizona State University are currently developing a fuel cell that is powered by a mixture of antifreeze and sodium borohydride. The result? - Up to Four times the longevity of conventional batteries. Unfortunately this technology is unlikely to hit stores for a while yet. Until then we're stuck with ye olde lithium-ion batteries. The problem with these is after two or 3 years, they usually lose the ability to hold a decent charge. Not to worry, a company called FreshBattery may have the answer.
There couldbe more than 60 million notebooks out there have an old, tiredbattery.* Call these mobile chums the baby boomer generation oflaptops.
