    Gang,
    take a look at this: new spin on Li-on

    Just think if we had something like this we could replace the current pack with.. 6 min to a full charge... more time on Bat... a 150 MPG Prius and we don't loose any storage space..

    Now if we could only change out the pack... flash the ECU... bingo.. "Super Prius"

    did do a quick search and did not see it .. .sorry if it was a repeat.. got to do a better search next time.

    I would love to have a battery like this in my prius.. a lot less wieght than the current and greater power per gram.
