Will New Batteries Make Laptops Truly Mobile?
Current laptops or notebook computers have a
major obstacle to overcome: short battery life.
Despite their sleek style and more and more higher
Levels, laptops have never been truly portable.
With batteries from an average of about 3 to 5 hours of usable
Power, most laptops are limited in the amount of time
they can be moved by the warm embrace of electric
a wall plug-in.
Like most laptop owners will confirm, out of powerwhen

ever-longer battery life from their laptops.
But even in laptops become smaller and more efficient,
short battery life is still a limiting factor for most
Laptops.
Fully loaded power undermines gaming laptops have been hardest
affected by this problem. Try a game or watch a movie
on battery power at your favorite beach for a long time
and you will see why laptop batteries are in need
Overhaul.
Notebook manufacturers are no doubt aware of this issue and
can be relieved help is on its way. Actually, the solution is
power-made laptop question is already there.
Once again, newTechnology comes to the rescue.
Short battery life for laptops and handheld for all electronic
Devices will probably be solved by two new sources of energy:
Micro-fuel cells and printable solar cells.
Micro fuel cells such fuels as alcohol or methanol
and provides ten times the power of conventional batteries
with only 1:20 by weight. Perfect for laptops
or notebook computer. It actually burns fuel

or the exchange of fresh fuel cartridge. As everyone knows,
Charging a conventional battery lasts for hours, this
new battery takes only seconds to recharge, or rather

One of the main leaders in this new technology with MTI
the Micro Mobion ® Cable-Free Power Pack, which is likely
Lithium-ion batteries to replace. They use a direct-methanol —
Fuel Cells (DMFC). Expect that these creatures are almost
22% of allof handheld devices by 2011. And if these new
Micro fuel cells are accepted by the buying public, you

Even more printable solar cells promises to the folds

Leaders in this new technology is Konarka. Theyproduce

Sunlight is not always available, Konarka Technology
uses all kinds of light to produce as indoor light
electrical energy. These low-cost printable solar cells
would have many applications, including a source of

What weis likely to see in the future, is a hybrid of
two technologies, micro-fuel cells and photovoltaic

Who never made. Unlimited power available everywhere,
anytime.
Micro-fuel cells and printable solar cells give laptops
the freedom and the power they need in order to be used at any time, anywhere.
These new energy sources eventually will make the laptop really
portable. In addition, the Internet istruly wireless, mobile,
and from anywhere.
