HI FMK!
Gvander(i know what you think but let's stay with the facts) posted on the Lithium Polymer thread the following Info about Motorola filing a patent regarding a lithium polymer battery and concludes that this might be the end of the VLNC/MOT connection. What do you think about that?

Abstract
A secondary lithium electrochemical charge storage device, such as a battery (10) is taught. The
battery (10) includes a first composite electrode (20), and electrolyte layer (40), and a second
composite electrode (30). The composite electrodes include at least an active material, and a
polymer or polymer blend for lending ionic conductivity and mechanical strength. The electrolyte
may also include a polymer as well as an electrolyte active material. The polymer from which the
composite electrode is fabricated may be the same as or different than the polymer from which the
electrolyte layer is fabricated.
27 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures"
I'm still optimistic on Vlnc and think that claiming a patent is not producing a battery.
