Obviously ICE are powered by cobalt mine the gasoline you buy when you fill up at a gas station. The electric motor/generator is powered by a large (and by large, I mean large and heavy) battery pack. Most hybrids on the road today have large Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs somewhere near the trunk, or under the seats. (Read about the Lexus Hybrid battery pack).
Nonetheless, the Volt is not something in GM's immediate plans. The idea for the Volt would require that a cost efficient 400-lb lithium-ion battery be found. lithium facts-ion batteries of this size are not currently available. Further advances in battery technology would be required to allow GM to consider making the Volt a production car. These are enhancements that could occur in as little as a year, or as many as 20 years. GM has stated that they feel the technology is almost there, yet a vehicle like this is probably about a decade away.
I spent a few days looking over the internet for a decent camera that would fit an amateur photographer like myself. I decided to go with the Canon EOS 1000D.
You lithium bettery stock do not need all the sounds. Using heavy mp3 ring tones, keypad tones, vibrating and other chimes together are unnecessary. If you want a ring tone, switch off your vibrating mode. If you are using vibration then turn off mp3 ringtones. Turn down the overall volume of your phone as loud mobiles can be annoying and prone to battery wastage. Remember that vibration mode drains out most of your battery power.
The Makita LXFD01CW Drill didn't stack up to the test as well as the Dewalt drills did. Overall it got a 3.5 out of 5 stars and a few user complaints. One guy commented that the batteries for all of the Makita drills are not interchangeable. You have to have the special 18V battery for this specific Makita LXFD01CW Drill. Yet he said the performance of the drill was outstanding. Another guy commented on the longevity of the drill, he's had it for a long time and it's been very durable. He liked that it was small and lightweight yet powerful enough to handle any task.
The bottom line, be gentle to your lithium-ion batteries. If you excessively charge the battery, with high voltages, and heavy load conditions, it will shorten your battery's life. It's best to charge at a slower rate.
