1800 mah in super-mini size a few years away

10 X the capacity. Soon those itty-bitty (180 mah) batts in standard sized e-cigs could actually store some juice.

Now that's a 'mod'. Go nano! Cool! Few years out. Seems that a lot of people are doing nano-batt research. Looks promising.

yep the future looks promising. Phones/cars/computer all run on Li Ion so its forever being researched, due to high profit returns on lower cost alternatives
good find btw.

Yeah, everyone is researching em. The storage densities are amazing. Basically, for the e-cig market: the battery part is complete.

No need for mods, no need for passthroughs either. One 510 sized battery will last all day even at 5 volts. (They have a HV standard battery now, but I think it's 280 mah and needs a special atty.) And it can recharged > 1,000 times with little or no degridation. That means 1 standard 510 size batt will last all day and be used for 3 years or more when recharged at night.

No PCC. No passthru. No large bulky mod. Assuming they get the (flow)switch & pcb correct, problem solved.

Which gives the (battery) custom mod market about 5 years of life left, maybe with a few exceptions, like gold plated batteries, rolex e-cigs, etc.

You're right, the cars/phones/computer stuff will drive this to market and make it practical fast. And EVERYONE is working on it, not just the people in this particular article. Wow.

if you can get 1ah 10440, it would be perfect.
