Recharge battery in 3 seconds...

I read something about this awhile back. This is technically not battery technology. I believe they use nanotubes which are basically capacitors on the molecular level. They are able to control the discharge so the battery life is similar to todays batteries, but they quick charge like a capacitor. Pretty cool. I have always said the company that can significantly improve battery technology has the ability to seriously influence wireless technologies.

no, did you read the article at all? From the first two sentences:

"Researchers at MIT (where else?) have discovered a method of recharging lithium ion batteries at greatly increased speeds. The best news is that their method uses common materials..."

Yes they are batteries.

You're right, I didn't read the article at all. I assumed this was the same thing I read since it was MIT who also was working on the nanotube project. I'm just glad have people out there looking to innovate battery technology.
