reading the article...is quite encouraging for VLNC...compare some comments of Sanyo: Other market needs exist for thinner lithium-ion batteries. Rectangular cases for batteries are more suitable than round cases, to realize a thinner lithium-ion battery. Sanyo, for example, plans to start marketing a new rectangular-shaped battery with a thickness of 5.3mm this autumn. However, there is a limit to reducing the thickness. Sanyo said it is difficult to make such batteries less than 5mm with current manufacturing methods. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> According to VLNC Spec sheet....our battery is already 4.45 mm thick.. and Sanyo still has a problem with thickness...well looks like we have a pretty good battery eh.... about Moltech is interesting as well...Moltech's technology is in the field of Lithium metal according to the article..: comment of Sony: The fires were due to the reactive nature of lithium-metal. Repeated charging and discharge operations turns lithium into dendrites, which break a separator that insulates positive and negative electrodes, and cause short circuits between the electrodes. This is a basic problem that cannot be solved in a short time, said Yoshio Nishi, a Sony Corp. corporate vice president and research fellow (battery R&D). Producers are still concentrating on lithium-metal batteries. For example, Moltech Corp. of the United States is conducting manufacturing tests on lithium-polymer secondary batteries using lithium-metal electrodes...... not sleepless nights at the moment concerning Moltech...IMHO... regards j.c.
