New rechargeable battery SCiB - 90% charged in 5 minutes!

Imagine you're going home from work and you're gonna have a dinner in half an hour. Your Android/iPhone/Laptop is going to be out of battery and you only have 10 min to charge it as most as possible.

With current Lithium-Ion technology, going home with 5% battery left and charging it 10 min, you will go out with 10~15% (optimisitic).

With the new Toshiba's battery technology, SCiB (for Super Charge Ion Battery), in only 5 min, you will charge 90% of your battery!!

Moreover, from what Toshiba explains, it's a long life battery: capacity loss after 3000 charge-discharge cycles is less than 10%. Achieves more than 6000 charge-discharge cycles.

Very interesting battery technology we would like to see as soon as possible in an industrial device, especially in mobile ones.
