future batteries will be lithium ion and i believe they are smaller and more powerful. cant wait for the future.

p.s. rumor has it the S400 hybrid will use lithium batteries making it the first in 2010. lets hope the LS can beat that

doesnt look that complicated really... complete battery is basically an enclosed module.

removing complete front interior and dash is by far the most complex and delicate thing you get to do in the business and compared to that, this seems pretty straight forward...

They have come down in size. The RX400h battery is bigger/heavier.

They last a lot longer than a regular battery.

The technology is there, but they aren't 100% confident in it yet. Its definitely coming though.
