Here's some facts, and after that, my conclusions.

I wrote this to you on Friday:
Your posts have outdated information in them.

The introduction of Ultralife's laptop batteries in the Mitsubishi's Pedion was touted as the first commercial application of Li-polymer for laptops. Unfortunately, this effort failed. The batteries were hand produced at an apparent loss, and were never available in commercial quantities. The relationship between Ultralife and Mitsubishi has been severed, and according to a post on Yahoo, Mitsubishi is working with another vendor at this time.

From what information is available, it doesn't appear that Ultralife has a viable commercial laptop battery, let alone one a longer life battery that has at least 30-45Wh capacity. Please post any relevant info that supports that Ultralife has a laptop battery available in
commercial quantities in this range.

You responded with the following:
Wrong Paul -- Ultralife if far ahead of Valence. Also, the point of the posts was to show others actually have produced batteries.

I can't find any substantive information to conclude that Ultralife has a competitive commercial laptop battery. Please post some specs for this commercially available battery.

More of your message:Much information produced on the internet is just plain false. I will not get into a debate on this one (though I am sure the goal will be to try and claim the a facts are not the facts).

Facts are facts.

Have a good weekend trying to convince everyone otherwise.


I would say one of the biggest problems with the Internet is that there is a lot of outdated information on it, like the information contained in the links you provided. I think it is a poor sales strategy to so loudly proclaim a failed production effort. OEMs don't like to hear of cases where a supplier couldn't timely deliver needed parts.

As for facts, here are some facts. Since the close of the market on Friday, until noon today, these were the leading posters (you probably prefer 'hypesters') on the Valence thread:

Dark Green with 15 posts.
gvander with 14 posts.
FMK with 14 posts.

No one else had more than 10 posts. I had one post.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend, because you certainly didn't enjoy today. One of your favorite stocks ULBI went down 10% (your post on the ULBI thread said you own the stock), while VLNC, this scam stock, went up 10% in spite of all your hard work this weekend. You must have had a great year to so mindlessly generate tax losses at this time.

More of your message to me: I guess you are going to say Battery Engineering, Moltech, Polystor and Tadiran Batteries are frauds too.

I never said these were frauds. Its just that they don't have a commercially available lithium polymer laptop battery at this time. Three of these don't even have a production plant yet, even for lithium polymer cellphone batteries.
