I think that they meant lasting 10x longer, is battery charge cycles, NOT how long between charges.

And lithium polymer batteries (the subset of Li Ion) are what we have in cell phones and readers. And there are batteries available today that can be charged in about 15 minutes from dead to fully charged. They are used in electric RC models.

But faster charging means more heat means less battery life (charge cycles).
