Mobion Fuel Cell Feeds Your Phone for Over 2,700 Hours
ecogeek.org — MTI Micro ’s Mobion fuel cells have broken a new record – the power pack has hit over 2,700 hours of continuous use on a cell phone. They’ve been testing out the fuel cells with intent to demonstrate just how much energy their battery can get over Li-Ion power packs. A lab test version lasted 2,700 hours of continuous use with a power degradation..

Based upon recently reviewed data published by competitors, Mobion® chips can produce two to three times more power."
COMPETIVE ADVANTAGES MOBION® CHIPS

Small enough for consumer market
* Chip size 9cc
Easier and cheaper to mass manufacture
* 1 molded piece
Modular design
* One chip fits all
Lighter weight
* Weighs less than 1oz
Temperature range now at par with Li-ion
* 0C to 40C and runs at any humidity level

- Ductapemaster, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2And after you're 2700 hours are up, you just put in more methanol and you're good to go! Can't wait for this to be released...
- SpaceDreamer, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1apparently that's the lifetime of the battery, not its autonomy,
which would make the title misleading...- LBobRife, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Not the entire lifetime, but 2700 hours is when there is about 15% degradation, as opposed to 50% at 1200 hours for the Li Ion battery.
