[Elecraft] Battery news

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

They were primarily talking about cell phone batteries charging in the 
blink of an eye, not car batteries.

I think the article is legit.  The sources trace back to the University,

It could take a long time for this to get from the lab to consumers, but 
it's encouraging.
