Nancy,
 
  The technology is changing so rapidly that it's dizzying. And, the batteries
for laptops, cellphones, ham radio handi-talkies, etc. run down so darn fast.
If someone could create a portable, LONG LASTING battery, they'd be laughing
all the way to the bank...just like the guy who invented the "Loofa Dog". The
dachshunds my late wife and I had LOVED them...and would tear them to shreds in
no time.
