"Your next laptop could have a continuous power battery that lasts for 30 years without a single recharge thanks to work being funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. The breakthrough betavoltaic power cells are constructed from semiconductors and use radioisotopes as the energy source. "

wwwooowww, this is a great news

Fabulous! A laptop RTG.

The problem is that your laptop breaks down after 6 months

I can't say I've ever had a laptop breakdown, other than the battery going bad. Yet a 30 year battery is pretty useless in the laptop world as a laptop is only up to par a few years at best. Maybe they can nibble it down to 5 years and charge us less..

munki · 10-01-2007, 04:19 PM

Articles saying they will start hitting shelves in 2-3 years... noice...

JamesK · 10-01-2007, 04:21 PM

Wow that's a big difference vs my 1 hour lasting piece of shit battery.

dozey · 10-01-2007, 04:24 PM

Yep. The problem with MOST laptop batteries is the longer you use them the shorter the battery life gets. This is due to the "battery memory" being whittled down due to improper charging. My laptop only lasts 30 mins on batteries now... so that 30 year battery would be fucking awesome provided they have a STANDARD SIZE system where it will work with future versions of the laptop.

Matt 26z · 10-01-2007, 05:08 PM

I do not doubt that the technology exists, but it's hard to believe it will be available to us in 2-3 years as the article claims.

Something like this would turn the battery industry upside down. This changes everything. A wide range of electronics would have their power cords eliminated.

rowan · 10-01-2007, 05:10 PM

I wonder if they'll be able to put out more instantaneous power, so instead of powering a laptop for 30 years you could power an electric vehicle for 6 months. (I'm assuming the 30 years thing is continuous... in that case 6 months of powering a vehicle motor would be effectively more like 5 years for the average daily driver...)

Unless your laptop looks like this, memory probaby isn't the issue... modern laptop batteries no longer suffer from that - instead they just die over time.

I own a Sony VAIO and it used to run 2 to 3 hours on its battery. Now, I'm lucky if it gets past 30 minutes. Apparently, batteries have a built in 'charging memory' or something like that where if you improperly charge it, it whittles down the battery life.

If it harnesses energy from radioactive decay, the chances are it won't be possible. In the event that you could accelerate decay (neutron reflection or something of the like) or just use a more radioactive isotope, the chances are you'd be suffering irradiation rather than cruising along in your atomic car.

StuartD · 10-01-2007, 05:34 PM

And it will only cost $20,000 the first year, $9999 the second... and so on until it's a $200 piece of hardware somewhere around 2020.

tony286 · 10-01-2007, 05:43 PM

That would be great, laptop's arent really portable if your getting 1.5 to 2 hrs on a battery.

Have you seen the batteries in electric vehicles?? It would be a great accomplishment if they could put 30 laptop batteries in a car and have it last for a week...

It may be available in a couple of years (which I also doubt) but what I'm really positive about is that it's gonna cost a fucking fortune.

Perhaps the lower power output of the new tech battery could be used to (slowly) recharge a set of standard batteries. Assuming the "decay battery" could reliably put out say 100 watts consistently then each day you'd have 2.4 kilowatt hours of stored energy to play with. That might power a little runaround electric car for an hour or two?
