A new “intelligent” lithium-ion battery is supposed to prevent explosions and fire accidents by sending constant updates on its own health. Developed by researchers at NTT DoCoMo, the battery uses a 8-bit microcomputer “brain” to monitor its condition and relay the information to the cellphone user.

The pack then notifies you when it's time to recharge, when it needs repairs or even when it's time for a replacement. Information is stored on the battery itself, so that even if you change your phone, you can still view your pack's previously recorded data.

It seems like total overkill to me, I've never met anyone who has had a battery explode and most of us are fully aware when the battery needs charging or is starting to lose capacity, why waste money and scarce materials doing this when it's hardly necessary?

In India, Nokia phones started balsting like crackers. Nokia took back all its phones and then repleaced the batteries.

Leave it to the Japanese to do something awesome like that. I wonder what else they'll squeeze into those clamshells.

@ Tranced, so a few phones have exploded and 1 guy out of several billion users has been killed, doesn't require an expensive upgrade to every battery on the planet.

Rather than controlling a dangerous technology they should be making batteries that can not explode.
