- marklabedz 16y agoDoes anyone know if the lithium metal polymer (LMP) battery technology is useful in other spaces, such as personal electronics? For a long time, we've been hearing that batteries are a key limiting factor for a variety of electronics.
- byoung2 16y agoApparently, when connected to a generous enough power supply, the batteries can recharge in just six minutes. I wonder how generous of a power supply that would be. The Tesla Roadster has a 110/120V "emergency" charger, a 220/240V "home" charger, and I believe there are plans for 440/480V "public" chargers in the works. The emergency charger takes 48 hours to do a full charge (120V 15A), and the home charger about 4 (240V 90A). In theory the public charger should do it in 1 hour (assuming 480V 180A). This "generous" Audi charger sounds like it will have some serious juice flowing through it.
