Actually the battery is the new technology and it is known ast the M1 battery and it's already in testing for production around 2008. It's still a lithium ion battery but doesn't explode if crushed, recharges 80% in 5 minutes, runs at a high voltage, and has a 30-80% higher energy density.

All this means it is safer, becomes feasible for fully electric cars as compared to needing hybrids, could be "filled up" at a gas station, would develop more torque, and would allow you do drive further on the same number of batteries.

When applied to cell phones, power tools, and laptops; just imagine.
