Toshiba Super-Charge ion Battery

Toshiba has announced that it will launch their new Super-Charge ion Baterry (SCiB) in March of 2008. The battery reportedly recharges to 90% capacity in under 5 minutes and has a 10-year lifespan. It has some other interesting features as well. It doesn't look like capacity will be much improved over comparable existing batteries, but the faster charge time and lower risk of overheating/catching on fire/exploding is a nice plus.
