Super Batteries

In recent years, standard cylindrical battery makers have started putting lithium power cells into rechargeable AA and AAA batteries and have managed to increase their storage ability to a staggering 3000 milliamps (3 amp-hours). At the same time they still managed to cap the voltage at 1.2 without causing them to explode or burn, that is astonishing.

These things will literally last all day for normal uses. 

With clever circuitry, a single lithium AA battery can power a 50 inch TV  for long enough to watch a movie.
