<DIV>Kelly,</DIV>

<DIV>Yeah, I have heard and read about these in some of the RC magazines. Slightly less voltage than a lipo cell, slightly less energy density (IIRC) but much faster charge/discharge times, many more expected cycles, and supposedly safer. Standard lipo/lion chargers won't work wtih them, however.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also saw where A123 will be working with GM on the all-electric plug-in car that GM recently announced they were developing.</DIV>
