As a choice between life or death of course I’d go for the 12 year old lithium battery inside my body, but I sure hope they would at least give me a docking station port so I could hook up my computer to it.

Give credit to the Badger braniacs (I mean that affectionately) at UW Madison, Wisconsin for this new battery technology via Science Daily:

Designed to be extraordinarily reliable and work continuously for years, the tiny batteries are indispensable in everything from pacemakers to the electronic stimulators that help restore function in the brains of Parkinson’s patients.

Too bad these batteries need an operation to be removed and changed. Maybe someday they will have the technology that once they are depleted for them to eat themselves up and dissolve into the bloodstream.
