A rechargeable battery that can be fully charged in just 6 minutes, lasts 10 times as long as today’s rechargeables and can provide bursts of electricity up to three times more powerful is showing promise in a Nevada lab.

Altair Technologies of Reno has created a new type of Li-ion cell in which the anode has an exceptionally high surface area. This allows electrons to enter and leave it quickly - making fast recharging possible and providing high currents when needed.
