one of the most important part of a camera is the power supply, Battery should have thoses specifications: Lowest cost; Environmentally benign; Improved low temperature performance; Improved dimensional stability; Improved calendar life. light, fast recharge time, ...

Ion-Lithium battery are the most usual battery in Camera indestry, but there is many other alternativ, with improved capacity, ... Fuel Cell, and aluminium based battery, wich have outperform the actual battery.
 
Fuel Cells are quite a new concept in practical use; it hasn't really matured yet. Maybe worthwhile to start developing fuel cells when they have matured.
 
if the army find it reliable then what to say next ?
and the idea is to implant new tech not old proofed one, and develop it to make it mature and efficient, right ?
 
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Subsititute "cinematographer" for "military" or "foot soldier" below...looks like a good match...the power density, output and life are all fantastic...not the 10x needed for a true breakthrough, but...

You get 2x better performance for weight...

Lots better performance because recharging time is just switching a methane canister (like putting a co2 canister in a bb gun)...

Key question: what's the price? Last time I looked, this kind of a system would cost 10x batteries...so its probably good their first customer is the cost-no-object military...[/FONT]

The problem
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Heavy, expensive, nonrehargeable military batteries are slowing the war efforts in Iraq and Afganistan as well as weighing down soldiers. For a typical 72 hour mission, requiring 20 Watts average power, each foot soldier now needs 27 lbs of rechargeable batteries (or 18 pounds of non-rechargeable batteries). Some platoons have designated individual soldiers to act as “battery mules” for the platoon. From ruggedized computers to communications systems to GPS to remote sensing and video, soldiers are carrying cumbersome loads of batteries to power these devices. And this power source problem is only growing, as the dismounted soldier continues to require more advanced devices. Logistically, batteries have been a major problem during the Iraq war as the two domestic suppliers of key batteries could not keep up with the increased demand. The operation of the war was delayed while battery supplies were replenished.[/FONT]
