Better Batteries!

Batteries are really scientific, especially the new ones coming out. The new Lithium-ion could keep your cell phone alive for a week and fully charge in 15 minutes! These lithium batteries get there charge from a chemical reaction on each end of the battery, known as the anode and cathode. When being used, energy transfers from anode, to electrolyte, to cathode. But when being recharged, it goes the opposite direction, from cathode to electrolyte, to anode. Researchers predict that these batteries will hit the shelves in the next 3 to 5 years.
