I suspect a cell this small will only begin to be practical if 40%<br>
efficient cells ever appear.<br>
<br>
The cell would need to be isolated from the rest of the phone to keep<br>
the battery cool. If the battery gets warmed up from proximity with<br>
the cell, it will be too hot to be safely charged.<br>
