Until now with the advent of new battery technologies (well, old technology but implemented in a novel way), which allows for the stringing of thousands of small, Li-ion batteries in parallel. This allows for the use of Li-ion batteries in cars where their superior ability to obtain and hold a charge (over NiMH) can be utilized. The fact that they are in parallel means that as the car ages and batteries get near the end of their lifespan, individual batteries die, but the system still works seamlessly; albeit without 1/5000 (or however many batteries it has) of the original carrying capacity. This is in contrast to the current hybrids using one or several very large NiMH batteries, where if one cell dies, the car won't run and you need to replace the battery.
That sounds nice but I doubt you can get significant high voltage out of any battery pack when wired parallel. Btw, 2nd gen Prius uses 168 cells.
This is seriously digressing. Basically, you guys have one battery pack of one (phones?) to six cells (laptops?) so just treat it right!

Actually the Nissan Altra which has been out for a while runs on Li-Ion batteries...
Also, the amazing Tesla Roadster runs off the Li-Ion batteries in parallel like I was saying...
And your right, completely off topic, I just thought it was interesting.
In response to the OP, that's good to hear since I charge my old audiovox 8900 every single night and sometimes during the day and when I do go a few days without charging it, I lasts a VERY long time (like 6 days) even though i've have the phone for 3 1/2 years now.
