well with new battery tech they should be working on smaller batteries. Only common sense says make a better battery.

Battery research is both slow and verrrry expensive.  Although I am not discounting that they will 'make a better battery', it is much easier said than done.  Granted, a lot of research is going into them now (especially for plug-in hybrids, etc), so maybe there's been a breakthrough I haven't heard of.

I'm not holding my breath though.

 

what do they have to research? Forget which university it was but some US university invented very tiny lithium wires that can make a battery three times smaller but last 30 times longer.

Well, they could start by researching a way to maek that battery without it costing 1000 times as much.  You know, so that those of us in the real world can afford it.

Hey, guess what ssj12, we can provide all of the electic power we could ever want at no cost whatsoever to the environment if we put satellites into space to collect solar power and beam it down to Earth in the form of microwaves that can be converted to produce elctricity.  If we've got unlimited resources with no environamental costs, why haven't we done it?  OH YEAH, THE TECHNOLOGY IS TOO DAMNED EXPENSIVE.

Really, it doesn't take much of the old brain power to figure things like this out.  New tech is great, but it takes years or sometimes decades before us common folk can afford it.
