Panasonic Batteries to Sport Silicon Enhancements

"According to Nikkei, the company will begin volume production of Li-ion rechargeable batteries that use a silicon alloy anode sometime in fiscal 2012. While Si alloy batteries have a tenfold theoretical improvement over current cells that utilize graphite, Panny claims that its device will have an improvement in linear capacity of close to thirty percent -- keeping at least 80 percent of its capacity even after 500 charge/recharge cycles."

I'm to the point that I'm not willing to believe anyone's battery claims until they actually release the product. At least they are being reasonable with their promise rather than promising the 10x increase that is only theoretical.
