Smart Batteries

An interesting post on mobile weblog on smart batteries from NTT DoCoMo.

"Researchers at NTT DoCoMo have completed development of an intelligent lithium-ion battery that monitors its own health (and charge status) and assembles reports that are accessible by users.

The information can then be called up to the handset by the user to see how the battery's feeling (and whether or not it's time for repaire or replacement).

The real benefit to the smart battery is that the information stays with the battery and not the handset, which means even if it is swapped out into another phone, the information will still be available."
