Yet the batteries we use today are still based upon the same technology that was developed by Alessandro Volta over two hundred years ago. They are large, lose electrical charge with time, can leak dangerous acids, and even sometimes explode with misuse. But now, there comes new technology to finally replace the old - the nanobattery.
There are a few projects working with nanobattery technology, and one such endeavor comes from MIT’s Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems (LEES), which is improving on the design of ultracapacitors. TerraDaily writes:
“Today’s ultracapacitors use electrodes made of activated carbon, Dell Vostro 1200 Battery, Dell Vostro 1310 Battery, Dell Vostro 1400 Battery, which is extremely porous and therefore has a very large surface area. However, the pores in the carbon are irregular in size and shape, which reduces efficiency. The vertically aligned nanotubes in the LEES ultracapacitor have a regular shape, and a size that is only several atomic diameters in width. The result is a significantly more effective surface area, which equates to significantly increased storage capacity.”
Unfortunately, most nanobatteries are still too expensive or impractical to be put to everyday use. Initially the technology will probably be used mostly in medical devices, military applications, and emergencies. But as is true with most technology, increases in production will likely result in decreases in cost. Perhaps one day soon the general public will enjoy laptop batteries which can hold a charge long enough to actually allow one to finish write.
Energizer Hearing Aid Batteries New Perforated Packaging
Energizer is launching a packaging innovation for the brands hearing aid batteries. The new perforated design makes using your hearing aid batteries easier than ever. Replacing the traditional Spin Pack, the new practical design is easier and more convenient for hearing aid batteries to use. Dell Vostro 1310 Battery, Because each battery is individually sealed and perforated, Energizer Hearing Aid batteries new packaging is designed to fit anywhere for convenient, on-the-go lifestyles.
Hearing aid batteries are Zinc Air batteries, meaning they are activated once the tab is removed from the battery, exposing them to air. Each battery in the new packaging has longer and wider tabs on each laptop battery that activates the power source once the tab is pulled away.
Features
Individually sealed means coins or metal objects wont touch batteries, avoiding a short out
Individual packages allow users to take one or two batteries with them and leave the rest of the pack behind, as well as keeping batteries fresh
Longer and wider tabs make inserting batteries into hearing aids easier
Each individual, perforated battery cell tab is barely the size and weight of a coin
Available for all styles of hearing aids,Dell Vostro 1200 Battery, Dell Vostro 1310 Battery, Dell Vostro 1400 Battery, including those where the battery drops, tilts or snaps in
Available in all four sizes (10, 13, 312 and 675)
