Hybrids: Better batteries coming up

It's again those guys from MIT. Their newest hit is a way to make better batteries for hybrid vehicles.

They’re using lithium nickel manganese oxide instead of the nickel metal hydride that’s used in batteries powering today’s hybrid vehicles. These new batteries can charge up ten times faster than current batteries, which means they can be ready to go in just ten minutes. There will be other applications for these new power sources, too, including tools, electric bicycles and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
