battery life...

  True. Battery life keeps on increasing. Li-ion batteries across the entire industry. The trend is ever upwards.

    Yet still slow compare to most other technologies. Battery technology has always fascinated me at how it lags so far behind it's related tech.

      It fascinates me how important they are. If battery energy density and cost improved by two orders of magnitude, it would completely change the world. We've seen that sort of improvement in integrated circuits in just 15-20 years but the significance of that is microscopic compared to what batteries would do.

    Battery life is not only increasing due to improvements in the battery itself but also due to software improvements. It would be interesting to see precisely who much software and hardware improvements contributed to increased battery life.
