Sony to Demo Hybrid Fuel Cell Battery
Posted in: hybrid, sony, Today's Chili
Sony plans to demonstrate the latest revision of its hybrid fuel cell battery technology two days from now in Tokyo at FC EXPO 2009, the world’s largest fuel cell conference, Engadget reports.
Sony’s system employs a methanol fuel cell and a lithium ion battery that can switch between one, the other, or even both under high-draw situations, the report said.
The company will display two versions at the show: a portable unit (pictured) that’s capable of powering a cell phone for a week, and a larger “interior” model that could power the same handset for a month—perfect for all those 3G cell phones that can barely get through four hours of talk time on a full charge before falling silent.
