Replying to: gagrice (Apr 17, 2008 10:15 pm) "Most of the failures are a single cell in laptop batteries. "   The fewest cells of which I am aware are 6; most laptop LiIon batteries have 9 cells. Replies to this message: galvang (Jun 04, 2008 4:04 pm)

Replying to: stevedebi (Jun 03, 2008 10:56 pm) If one of theose Laptop Lithium Ion battery goes it will cause a chain reaction and other batteries may over heat and fail too.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jan 22, 2008 5:52 am) There are newer technology lithium ion batteries using nano-particle suspensions, composite cathode materials, and various physical and chemical modifications that overcome all of these limitations.        Various manufacturers have invented various alternative configurations, all of which have greatly increased cycle life, charge and discharge rate, and safety. Thermal run-away, copper plating, lithium plating at low temperature, and exposed graphite-oxygen-electrolyte issues have all been resolved in these newer designs.         Production is already ramping up with some of these new technologies but there are many more in the pipeline, so I expect within a few years, the lithium batteries won't resemble what we see today at all, however, even now there are companies producing lithium batteries with much longer cycle life, operating parameters, and without the thermal-runaway or fire hazards of older technologies.

From laptops to cars, advanced batteries have become a major factor in innovation. And if Panasonic Corp.'s possible takeover of Sanyo Electric Co. goes through, the merged company could become a dominant force in the fast-growing business.   http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122589242452601431.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
