"New lithium-ion battery design 2000x more powerful, recharges 1000x faster" fits with out altering the meaning at all.

  I didn't say you couldn't do better, I just pointed out the likely source of the problem. GGP says > copy the article's title, do not invent your own. Unfortunately you can't always do that. Dropping words is one technique to shorten the title, rewriting it is another, both techniques are employed.

    We agree on the topic. Indeed it is tricky to strike the right balance when trying to edit something down to fit and keep the meaning. I probably do this dozens of times a week trying to get the full intent of a thought down to 140 chars. :)

      Could always opt for the scientific notation. "New Li+ battery design - 2,000x more powerful, recharges 1,000x faster" Now you just have to know that Li is Lithium and the + is for an ion.

        > Could always opt for the scientific notation. > "New Li+ battery design - 2,000x more powerful, recharges 1,000x faster" In that spirit (and just for fun): "New Li+ battery design - 2k x more power, charges 1k x faster. I originally tried scientific numeric notation, but that didn't actually shorten the title: 2x10^3 versus 2,000. :(
