<DIV>Did you see that promotional video of the Saphion where they fired off
multiple rounds into a backback radio battery pack? Pretty neat, eh?</DIV>

<DIV>Kelly,</DIV>
<DIV> </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>
