I believe this technology and the industry developing around Lithium Polymer to be fundementally attractive. I have started this thread with the hope of furthering my understanding of the industry and the industry's participants. I think providing one place in which to pool our knowledge will allow us to identify the most promising technologies and identify the most serious threats. Anything is open here -- maybe somone can show that this industry is not as attractive as I thought. I hope that is not the case but would like to encourage as many objective opinions as possible. Some of the companies that are involved in advanced rechargeable batteries include: (not all are lithium based)
AER Energy A&T Battery Corp Battery Technologies Inc. Battery Engineering Bluestar Battery Systems Compaq Computer Corporation Duracell Electrofuel Energizer Power Systems Incharge Co Johns Hopkins - plastic battery Japan Storage Battery Co Lithium Technology Corp Maxell/Hitachi Moli Moltech Polystor Polyplus Power Battery Holdings Corporation Panasonic Rayovac Corporation Saft America, Inc. - Industrial Battery Division Sanyo Energy (USA) Corporation Sony Tadiran Batteries Toshiba Ultralife, Inc. Valence Technology, Inc. Varta Batteries
Any objective information about the companies or the industry is welcome -- |
