    ok, All this talk of Lithium Sulfur Batteries infused in Carbon Nano Structures with 3-4 times todays capacities, then the MIT rapid charging breakthrough...? Am I missing something here? It was reported that all of these technologies made use of existing fabrication methods similar to what we use now... Minus encapsulation and additional processing...
    (thankfully this is Gizmodo so the next sentence shouldnt be too much of a shocker)
    Why the fuck are we still stuck with shitty battery life!!!!!
    I want a laptop that can handle more than an hour and a half of WoW, or a cell phone that goes the whole day without charging, or a damn electric car that recharges in a few minutes.. wtf man

    1.1Ah for an 18650 cell? Am I missing something here? Even the cheapest of the cheap 18650s are 2.2Ah at 3.7V.
    I guess this makes them good for power tools where power density isn't quite as important as being able to quickly recharge.

    @dingus: Power density is now energy density. You are talking about how much energy is stored, they are touting their power.

    @philibuster: Err... yeah. I meant capacity. I just went netbook battery pack shopping and I've got runtime on my mind.

    64W discharge vs. ~15W for standard cells is pretty good for power tools.
