Battery dev does seem to move slowly compared to other tech.

Its the killer of technology. Smartphones, computers etc are all getting so much more powerful yet battery performance is like 8 hours advertised so with real life usage is prob 5. Thats rubbish and useless if you need to work all day and not constantly sat next to a socket.

I welcome any improvement in battery performance and life.
