How external software can alter the internal resistance of a cell escapes me at the moment. I'll remain skeptical as well.

The company says the lightweight metal can be integrated into lithium-ion batteries and claims that Aluminum-Celmet's three-dimensional structure forms interconnected, spherical pores that somehow nearly triple battery capacity.
Leading The Charge To Make Better Electric Cars : NPR
We have a book review thread if anyone reads this one.
Ener1 (HEV) and Wanxiang Electric Vehicle Co. announced that the Chinese government has approved their joint venture to co-manufacture lithium-ion storage energy systems for the China market.
I'm still waiting for Tesla Motors' liquid battery cooling technology to trickle down to laptops so that I don't have to replace my battery more often in my laptop than in my car!
I plug in most places I use my laptop and thus pop the battery out when it's around 50% SOC. That prevents it from charging fully and also keeps it from getting too warm.Try not fully charging and not fully discharging your battery, just like an EV.

I've been waiting for a while for battery management software on portable devices that not only controls power usage profiles, but also SOC (and rate of charge if that matters). That way you could extend the life of the battery and charge according to expected usage. Something akin to a "range mode" if you're really going to need the device all day, or a "standard mode" if you expect to be able to plug-in in the car or at the office. I believe there are some laptops that have this (though none that I've owned yet).
Yeah, I have to conclude that most laptop makers are idiots.
Another reason I avoid Apple products.But newer MacBook Pro laptops, and the MacBook Air, have batteries that are not designed to be replaced by their owners
