Geez, You guys with your DVD acronym soup glaze over the eyes of this NiMh battery focused fellow. Imagine my delight when a certain Hollywood based, EV1 driving, claimed technophobe alerts me to US patent 5,798,189 issued to Toshiba on August 25th, 1998 for a "Nickel-Hydrogen Secondary Battery". For those who can stand the pain I recommend a glance. If you scrunch up close to the computer and own eyedrops you can read it on-line on the IBM Patent server at: patents.ibm.com Wave to Retiarius while you are there. He must spend his life there. Seriously, pick an area you are interested in at ECD, wander over to the URL given and type in some keywords or a patent number. Even a quick scan of some of ECD's (or in this case a liscensee's: Toshiba's) patents lets you gain a feel for the vast size of the goldmine we are sitting atop. In this case, Toshiba seems to have vastly improved self discharge, cycle life and internal cell pressure. This last will in turn allow for even faster charging rates. Stan and Bob have always said this was an engineered battery and would get better over time and that we needn't worry about LiOn and the like. Reading stuff like this puts meat on the bones of those statements.
