Source : InfoworldWe spoke about this some time ago, and now Toshiba has finally showed it. The company made the demonstration of a SCiB battery (Super Load Ion Batteries) able to be relcharged to 90% in only 10 minutes. To arrive at this performance, it uses particularly stable compounds which do not degrade with the heat caused by this fast lcharging. In addition to this undeniable advantage, the battery is much more robust than the current products on the market and supports 5000 to 6000 recharge cycles.
Its first use near the general public will be done for electric bicycles. Later on, one will be able to find it in laptops and mobiles.
There will be however a constraint, the size of the charger. One will be need a lot of power to charge quickly such a battery.
