Hmm, wonder when or if these will be made into PSP Battery Packs. We do remember talks about increased battery technology in the past, perhaps this is one of them. Another question, how much more would this cost?

I'm interested in knowing if the self-destructing property of li-ion batteries has been eliminated in this generation, or at least toned down...

Self destructing?!? You mean battery "total" life depletement (basically when, after a few months or years, the battery lasts 15 minutes before having to recharge it again). Or real self-destruction?

Scroll down to the bottom for a nice LiPoly failure video.. One of these batteries can and will go up in flames if left in a hot car.

"Honey, did you recharge the batteries yet?"
"Yeah I did, they've been recharging in the car."
"Alright, can you get them for me?"
"Yeah sure... wait a minute, where my damn car?"

?


IMO, I am more interested in Toshiba's Fuel Cell batteries, they promised a 500% increase in durability?
