Yeah yeah, but can it core a apple?

Why don’t the cell companies just sell a pack that contains a spare battery and charging station for spent batteries, so you could charge one battery while using another and quickly swap out the low battery for the one in the charging station? Seems there’s money to be made there.

I bet they’ll blow up even better than the old lithium ion batteries.

Figure out a way to make these batteries power a car and the electric car is alive.

As with any new battery tech, there’s still a lot of tinkering left to do before microbatteries come to our electronic devices.

IOW, it's not going to happen, but it makes a good story for our magazine.

The prospect of almost instantaneous phone recharging is impressive by itself, but the engineers also told the university that a phone powered by these batteries could even be used to jump-start a dead car battery. Then they could be fully recharged after another second. Holy cow.

If it sounds too good to be true...

The outlet, if it contains surge protection, will shut off in milliseconds.

GFCIs will be tripping like crazy.

There is a thing called energy density. If you could really put enough power to jump start a car into a tiny battery, it would be dangerous, if even possible.
