Hi Kimmo,Odd programmes I watch from time to time include "The Gaget Show "where they announced the new batteries for phones .They stated they will charge in one minute and that they will be safer than lithium.

From what they said they expect them to be smaller and go to higher voltages .

Looking forward to future applications

This is the sort of battery technology needed to move battery powered transport and anything else on… with the sort of low cost/low weight and very fast charge capacity, electric cars become a reality. One can only hope eh??

AND as for yer humble model boats, well…

Hi Colin

I agree that most of us use lead acid batteries as ballast, with the probability of these new type batteries coming though, the lead acid remains as ballast but not as drive cells.?????

Initaly i am expecting them to be V expensive, look at the drop in price of LiPo's in the last 12 months, once the market has evened out the price and availability will fall dramaticaly
