The M1 is here to revolutionize mobile power chopping off the lackadaisical existing cells. It uses the conventional lithium-ion technology and manages to churn out ‘twice the power of standard 18-volt tools and run twice as long per charge’.
The outcome of the A123 Systems’, a MIT offshoot, the super battery’s electrodes are coated with nanoscale particles that store and discharge energy; it takes just five minutes store back 90 percent of power. And here is the result of this simple phenomenon:
‘Power density doubles, peak energy jumps fivefold (the cells pack more punch than a standard 110-volt wall outlet), and recharging time plummets.’Motorola, Qualcomm, and OnPoint Technologies are behind the A123 projects and here brings a really tough time for the Asian giants Sanyo, Sony, and Toshiba. A123’s cells also target cars by lightening the weight of existing batteries by almost 80 percent.
