Hello!! What do you think about the new smart battery technology proposed by Intel and Duracell? Will the technology come to the majority of the notebooks? Intel seems to believe so, and it would offer some improvement over present technology, but are you aware of any notebook manufacturer introducing a notebook based on smart battery in the near future?? The problem with smart battery is, that the end customer, who wants to use the computer, doesn't want to *think* about the battery, he/she just wants to be able to run the system as long as possible. I'm not sure if the end-user is interested in the 95% accurate battery fuel-gauge, because the main problem is, the battery just isn't giving him enough power anyway. The end user would not want to know that my battery has 45,3 minutes time left. Rather, the user would like the money spent in the intelligent charger and battery to be used to make the battery larger, that is capacity-wise. Extra hour of use is more important than knowing exactly the time left. Especially as it seems likely that Li-Ion battery chemistry is going to improve greatly in the next few years. But am I wrong?? Comments, please! Thanks!! Arto Kiiskinen
