This is true. But, what makes batteries deteriorate is mostly abuse, and the thing about modern technology is that we now can have battery monitoring computers that make sure all cells are charged and discharged evenly and that no cells get overcharged or overdischarged. This _radically_ extends battery life. >capacitors are the same thing ... the more you use them, the more they go to >poop. No, capacitors are a totally different thing. Conventional electrostatic capacitors don't fail when they are used, all of the failure modes have to do with catastrophic damage. Electrolytic capacitors fail in a bunch of different ways, mostly related to heat or disuse but not to use. >there are some people putting like 20,000 computer battery in a car, last 2 >years ... really puts out ... good product ... just costs like $50,000 to >replace every two years. Who are these people? >slow battery charge, makes for slow battery death. This is for two reasons: first of all it means reduced heating and secondly it means with a conventional charging system the chances of overcharging are reduced. The second is no longer a big deal, but the first one still is. But the key to reducing heating problems is with lower series resistance batteries... in general the same technology required to get faster discharge is the same as the technology that gets faster charging. >battery sometimes have a 'sponge' memory .. and they never fully discharge, >nor fully recharge ... as you can never squeeze them out enough. This was the case for early NiCd packs, but it was ONLY an issue for NiCds and it has not been the case since the mid-1970s. You can read about the whole story in the Gates Battery Handbook. >the best way right now to make electicity for a hybrid .. is to put a solar >panel on the sliding roof window for example ... and daylight keeps the >passive fan going on so the inner car will not get hotter then outside temp >... which might be 108 degrees F ... but it is not 140 inside and the >battery is hot to go. Do the math. Even at 100% efficiency, solar cells don't give you very much current unless you have a huge area. And typical cells today are a lot less than 100% efficient.... 10% is optimistic. >making fuel cells ... is a BIG RIP OFF ... > >making electicity into hydrogen to make into electricity ... > >When Governements do this hydrogen technology .. they are just doing an >Enron up you ass !!! No, it's not a ripoff, it is just an energy storage technology just like batteries, and what's interesting is that it gives you much higher energy density than batteries. Making electricity into hydrogen, putting it into a car, then turning it into electricity when needed allows you to put a lot more energy on board than putting it into a battery. Now, battery technology might improve, but right now fuels give you a whole lot more watts per pound. It's true that some people have been promoting hydrogen power as some sort of cure-all, as if it were an energy _source_ instead of an energy _storage medium_, but that's no reason to discount it completely. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Do you know what happens to anodes and cathodes during the charge/recharge cycle? Do you have *any* idea how a battery works? (apologies in advance to everyone else for taking the bait) -- Dan. |

Every time the battery charges and discharges ... that 'crust' comes off and settles down to the bottom of the battery. When that crust is all gone, the battery will not work anymore. They have it down to an exact science now ... a 48 month battery will be dead by 48 months and 2 weeks almost always. try to do something about your toddler tantrum, it was not handled well in your childhood by your parent objects ... much like the Mark of Cain there is one up - one down stuff you got going on talking to people. Oh ... you are soooo pretty and I am sooo ugly I have to kill you so that God will say I am the fairest one of them all and have to love meeee !!1 it goes some thing like that ... and there is Jonestown with the Koolaid Christians and the Gas Chamber Jews. Such is the toddler tantrum ... as it foxing wants to kill something ... hope that is a help to you. I am not interested in fighting with you ... but you go ahead with out me. sumbuddie wear blind sea |

I don't have any ICE people in my life (In Case of Emergency people). They are all bible tumpers stuck in their toddler tantrum, a natural result of child abuse ... and they will try to force Jesus down my throat while I am dying if in their presence. Sooooo ... no ICE people in my life ... I am an orphan of sorts. sumbuddie wear blind sea |

For the same reason that changing the tires is not a replacement for filling the tank up with gasoline. >you talk like a person stuck in their toddler tantrum necessary so because >of child abuse ...
