width=172><BR>INSTANT CHARGE BATTERY<BR><BR><FONT face=Verdana>Well, you wont
find it at Dayton, at least not yet but a new form of <BR>battery is being
developed with what's being called instant charging. <BR>Jeff Clark,
K8JAC, reports:<BR><BR>--<BR><BR>Materials researchers at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology have <BR>announced that they have developed a new form
of LiON battery. One <BR>could discharge and recharge in seconds rather
than hours.<BR><BR>Gerbrand Ceder is a Professor of Materials Science and
Engineering at <BR>MIT. Along with his graduate student he discovered a
way to build LiON <BR>batteries with a performance level more like that of Ultra
Capacitors. <BR>These are caps that store less energy but can store and
release it very <BR>quickly.<BR><BR>If commercialized, this new breed of LiON
battery would allow future <BR>hybrid cars to rapidly recharge. It could
also lead to improvements in <BR>portable two way radio as well ass new consumer
and industrial <BR>products. <BR><BR>--<BR><BR>It will be some time before
a battery like this is available <BR>commercially. (Science
