Want a better battery then today's Lithium Ion (LiON) rechargeable's?? How about a battery that:
1) Lasts 10 times longer then today's LiON's
2) Works at temperatures of -30C (-22F)
3) Has a power density of 4.2 AH @ 2.4 volts
4) Will charge to 90% in five minutes
5) Is safe from rupture or ignition
This "dream" battery is called a Super Charge ion Battery (SCiB) and is being developed by Toshiba. It will power a Cannondale bicycle called the Schwinn Tailwind next year.
