With 10 minute refueling, this technology allows battery use up to 24 hours a day, notes ZAI. In a 1995 paper, Cooper noted that the cost of the recovery unit is small compared with the cost of the battery because it operates continuously and hence at a lower power level than the battery. Self-feeding cells.
