Over a recent 10-day period, laptop manufacturers Apple and Dell announced plans to recall nearly six million lithium-ion notebook PC batteries after nine overheated.
The move highlights the potential hazards of lithium-ion batteries, which power a wide range of other portable devices, including music players and cellphones.
A team of scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed and patented a nano-battery technology for fast charge/discharge batteries that eliminates fire hazards associated with current lithium-based batteries and can provide an alternative source of power for mobile devices.

Nano-batteries, now even easier to lose than the little dime-size things we use in some electronics! :ick:
