New Battery Development - smaller,lighter, more powerful

[greenman3610]

The resulting device can be rapidly charged then discharged to deliver power. During performance testing, the new battery demonstrated twice the storage capacity of an electric double-layer capacitor and delivered more than 100 times the power of a standard alkaline battery.

The prototype battery is small, light and thin. There are some initial problems with performance, such as decreased storage capacity after repeated recharging, but the Brown team expects strong interest in developing the concept further.

1. quick - how can the pentagon use it to assault american protestors?
