This is a good story. I was struck by the fact that Kline studied Lithium Polymer last year in a similar piece on Advanced Materials, but seems much more enthusiastic about NiMH at this point.

Interesting Japanese article on exotic batteries - mainly laptop and cell phone applications. A while back, I commented that I thought Li Polymer batteries would be major contenders in electronic applications. (I think they do not have enough power output to be the best choice for power tools, etc.; but I would like confirmation of this as I am not really sure). Li Poly batteries are apparently now entering these markets in a big way - starting in 1999. Here is a link to a Japanese article that discusses the status, including such things as tiny fuel cells. The article is not comprehensive as it ignores, for example, Valence Technology (VLNC). nikkeibp.com
