Over the past 30 years, battery costs have fallen by a dramatic 99 percent; meanwhile, the density of top-tier cells has risen fivefold

We've gone from the most reliable battery being an alkaline through 3 different rechargeable technologies as well. Too bad that research never pans out...

That's not true

Better performance in driving electronics and huge money saving are the two major reasons to buy NiMH (Nickel metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries. They can be charged up to 500-1000 times and last longer than alkaline or NiCd batteries. NiMH batteries are ideally compatible with most consumer devices such as digital cameras, game boys, CD players, RC vehicles, PDA’s, portable two-way radios, flash units and many more high drain devices. One set of relatively inexpensive NiMH rechargeable batteries can save you from buying thousands if throwaway alkaline batteries.

That was sarcasm.

Ah, I've seen so many people insist - with full sincerity - that advances in battery technology aren't happening.

Me, too, man. Saying the same thing so many times.
