Can't Wait Six Minutes?

Remember this?

A rechargeable battery that can be fully charged in just 6 minutes…

Well, now you don’t even have to wait that long:

Impatient people may find Toshiba’s latest invention something that would fit their lifestyle. The company announced Tuesday that it had discovered a way to recharge a Lithium-Ion battery to 80 percent in only one minute. Currently, the fastest batteries take approximately an hour to recharge to the same capacity.

No problem -- just use a hacksaw and shave off the top 20% of the battery.
