Gruesome Battery Deaths So You Can Stay Zestfully Alive

No one wants to see their hybrid become a rolling, electric sled of death, so right now as we sit here there are scientists shooting nails, overcharging, and otherwise abusing batteries in ways that would certainly stop the Energizer Bunny in his hippity, hoppity tracks. All this in the hopes that should you do any of those things yourself to your hybrid, you'll be around to tell you mechanic all about it.

So, how's it going? Unfortunately this news.com article doesn't tell us. Bummed? Well I was. So I searched around for me info. This azonano.com article gives us a bit more info: “Lithium-ion batteries, generally found in laptop computers and power tools, have greatly improved over the past few years.” Huh, didn't see that coming. Roll eyes.

Okay, I'm being a bit surly. So...I should stop.
