Apple this week has announced an iOS 5.0.1 update, which includes a fix for the battery problem plaguing many iPhone 4S users, who are reporting a battery life of less than half of the prior model. So, why are we announcing the news on this blog?
In today’s technologically-driven marketplace, the performance (or lack of) can directly impact the success of a consumer product. Not only is enough today to have an amazing electronics item with lots of bells and whistles, but the battery that powers the device better work in a way that meets customer expectations as well.
As Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales quickly approach, you’ll want to do your research before making an electronics purchase about the battery life of a product you are about to buy. Whether it is a toy, laptop, camera, smartphone, or a wide array of equipment or sports items on your list, it is important for the battery to have the life and strength to support the device. Or, why bother?
A good example of this is electronics

Lithium-ion batteries are considered the solution to making electric cars possible. But, which kind? A recent article in ConsumerReports.org talks about what’s next in the lithium battery landscape.
Seth Fletcher, editor of Popular Science magazine and author, describes the key technologies of today and what lies ahead. Here are excerpts of his take on develops, as reported by Eric Evarts.
- The first-generation lithium batteries are made from lithium-cobalt oxide. These are the batteries widely used in consumer electronics today. These batteries have good power, but they are less stable than other kinds. While lithium-cobalt oxide batteries are readily available, commercial versions are not set up for cars. They are mainly made by Sony.
- The second-generation lithium batteries, developed for the Chevrolet Volt, are made of lithium-manganese oxide. But lithium-manganese stores less energy, which limits the range of electric cars.
- The third-generation lithium-based batteries use lithium-iron

One of the biggest letdowns when it comes to the holiday unwrapping frenzy is for batteries to be forgotten, and as a result, battery-powered electronics and toys purchased may not be useable until stores reopen. It happens every year around the family celebrations, but you can ahead now and stock up on typical sizes needed and even add them to your list for Santa.
If you are buying a toy for a child, do your child a special favor and purchase the batteries (remember they are typically not included) and tape them onto the box. That way, they can be installed immediately so your child will be able to enjoy the item that was purchased rather than just “looking” at it. If you are buying a child a more elaborate battery-operated riding toy, be sure to read up on the directions ahead of time and know how long the battery needs to be charged. What child won’t want to ride the toy, so having it charged and ready for action will add to the holiday magic for the lucky child.
The same holds true

Lithium-ion batteries are used in an array of consumer electronics, from laptops, smart phones, and even electric cars. While the current lithium-ion batteries are good, they will get better. The reason can be credited to researchers who have found a way to have the batteries store more energy.
According to a recent article in Science Daily, the anode is a critical component in these batteries. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Berkeley Lab have designed a new type of anode that can absorb eight times the lithium of current designs. Even more promising, it has maintained its greatly increased energy capacity after over a year of testing and countless charge-discharge cycles. And additional good news with it is that the new anodes are made from low-cost materials, compatible with current standard lithium-battery manufacturing technologies.
While the better batteries aren’t yet ready for your new electronics just yet, the emphasis on continual improvement to maintain high customer
