Battery Storage Gone Mad.

In past many years scientists have been in per-suite of finding ways of improving the ability of a battery to charge more in less time or all in all is more powerful then the normal batteries.

Well guess what the dream is not that far. Last year Hitachi made an announcement that they had made an i-on  battery which is 50% more powerful then the normal car battery which will be available at the end of 2012.

But an amazing effort was made by a team of Washington State University that they are working on "Xenon and fluoride" battery which can store electricity more then 10 to 1000 times a normal battery. And it is expected that it will be available in coming years.

An other research is on the fuel of the battery and a team of Cambridge came up with a fuel which is 10 times more powerful then a normal distilled water. The working will be that you go to the Pump station and your car battery will be drained and new fuel will be put in and instantly your battery is fully charged.

Conclusion:
                  Batteries may not be a trusted partner in crime at the moment but in 5 to 10 years time motor industry and many other industries using multiple fuels will switch to electrical mode and preferred storage will be batteries. Homes will no longer be hooked up with the national electricity grids rather will have silicon solar panels on roofs and powerful battery storage units in house. which will be able to run a single house for more then a week. That`s the future and we should all contribute to it.
