I recharged an alkaline battery using a car battery. It could only be connected for a few seconds. Even at that it got hot. But, what was a dead battery before had enough juice to power a radio again. Figured it was too dangerous to do so only tried it a coulpe of times.
Im guessing the 12 volt car battery was too much too quick for an alkaline battery which is why it got too hot to touch based on the explanation you offered in your post.

“Isnt 1000 KM about 12 and a half miles? Maybe my calculator is broken.”
How on earth did you come up with that number? How about 600 miles.

Maybe for one person and a small cat providing they had no luggage.

Yep, the first RGB puter I bought with a 20 meg HD was over 1300 $. I just bought a new Acer desktop AX3910-U2032 Pent E6600 3.06Ghz 4GB 640GB DVDRW for under 300 bucks.
Pretty plain Jane vanilla , but for the money suits my needs just fine.

Unless E-cat works, and then copper is going to be the most common metal on earth in the future.
If both of them pan out, it would be totally awesome. Cheap energy and a convenient way to move it around.
Here’s hoping!!!

It is still a hybrid and over 2/3rds of it’s range is still from gas - all of it unless you can plug it in somewhere and wait for the charge to trickle in.

Toyota Motor has developed a secondary electric car battery that can last up to 1,000 km per charge, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Monday. That is five times the energy storage capacity of existing batteries. The story is about the B-A-T-T-E-R-Y, not a C-A-R.
The BATTERY is a new type of rechargeable ("secondary") battery that has much greater capacity than current battery types.
This has NOTHING to do with an engine, gasoline or otherwise.
It may very well be installed in future hybrids, but that is a moot point to this article/discussion.

Not to worry, even IF e-cat works, the anti nuke people will be ALL over it.

....developed a secondary electric car battery....
Sounds like they're talking about cars to me.
Does Toyota have a non-hybrid, all electric, car nobody knows about? ....that travels 120 miles per charge?
If so, please share the link.

More importantly, can one of these be used in a cellphone?

If this new battery suffers from significant memory effect, it will be useless for transportation applications. Let us hope it does not.

That 1000 km/621 miles range happens to be the approximate range of a VW TDI Diesel, and the TDI only takes 10 minutes to “recharge”.

A new and improved coal powered car!
Too bad 0bama wants to put coal out of business, making electricity “neccessarily skyrocket”.

1000 miles is beyond what the majority of gasoline cars can do. The real question is how much acceleration it offers.
