Sony announced a new type of lithium ion battery today that recharges up to 99% in 30 minutes, and lasts 4x longer than the typical rechargeable batteries. And even after 2000 charge-cycles they maintain up to 80% of their ability to retain a charge. Not bad Sony. Sadly, these are available only for Power Tools currently.
