Every once in a while a new technology for laptop battery technology comes out that greatly increases the capacity and lifespan of laptop batteries. My question is this: Is it common for those technologies to be applied to older models of laptop that were designed before the new technology was available? I am at about 81.1% of my original charge and I was hoping that any new technology (things like nanowires) would be applied to my laptop model when I decide to refresh my battery (probably when I reach 50%).
