Default Semi OT Battery Technology

Here is what is posted on there website

First the charger:
Features: 1 hour charging provides fast charging for minimum downtime
Battery fuel gauge indicates how much charge is in the battery
DEWALTŪ 3-stage charging system provides maximum run-time and extends
overall life of the battery
Cord wrap provides improved cord storage

Then the battery
Features: DEWALTŪ exclusive nano-phosphate lithium ion cells provide
high power for corded performance; deliver 2-3x more run-time vs. 18V; offer
long battery life & durability: 2,000 recharges
Lightweight design- 2.4 lbs; same weight as an 18V battery
No memory & virtually no self-discharge for maximum productivity
& less downtime

The recharge time is the same as everyone elses. However the
charges over the life of the battery seems low. Milwaukee is warranting
their 28V and 18V LiON batteries for 5years/5,000 charges.

"Leon" tells us about

DeWalt has a new cordless saw, the Model DC300K, that seems to
promise
a major break through in battery life. The battery, apparently a next
generation lithium ion battery uses partials that are 100 times smaller
than the typical lithium ion battery. The M1 Nanophosphate battery has
a
recharge time of a few minutes and is suppose to last 10 years.
Apparently this battery is being looked at to also power an automobile.
The recharge time to 80% capacity on an automobile is said to be about 15
minutes.



I just can't help myself.

Charges in a few minutes and lasts ten years??

I guess you wouldn't need a charger for this, would you?

I know, I will keep my day job.
