Innovative energy sources

With today's increasing mobile multimedia devices in our everyday life and the need for mobile energy sources is growing. With innovative energy sources, the growing future demand should be solved.


The trend is towards mobile devices that become lighter and smaller, but their need for power increases. As a result, the demand for high capacity mobile energy sources increase. Alternative energy sources to today's batteries are on the way to the market. Further development of the battery technology should bring more power, longer life cycles and shorter charging times by a smaller volume.

Fuel cell
Some big technology companies perform intense research work for the use of fuel cells as energy supply of small electrical appliances such as laptops, mobile phones and MP3 players. Advantages are the high energy capacity compared with today's batteries, and the rapid refilling of the tanks to the long recharging time of the batteries.

SCiB (Super-Charge-ion-Battery)
In March 2008 Toshiba will launch a battery which reloads within 5 minutes 90% of its capacity and loses only 10% of their capacity after 3000 charging cycles. In future mobile multimedia devices could be completely independent from permanent power sources because they could get recharged quickly at a specific energy station.
