Hi Rich> I noticed that Nokia and Sprint just signed an agreement worth potentially $500 million. However, these handsets are for CDMA application, do you know if this would require cells with different specs? duckster

Hello again LWS, Looking again at the curves, I see that late last night I misread the labels denoting the current levels. The power is 'on' (1.34A) only for .55ms (0.00055 seconds), and then 'off' (164 mA) for 4 ms. 'mkt-e' woke me up with this with his post on yahoo (humble thanks). What the curve shows is that when the current is pulsed on (1.34 A; mkt-e noted 1.4 to 1.6 A; this depends on circuit req'ts.), there is a slight drop in voltage (the presumed vertical scale; I was sleepily thinking in terms of current as the vertical scale last night, hence my misreading the levels). There is no label on the vertical scale, but below the curve it notes: 'V1=3.853 v, V2=3.656 v, delta-V= -196.9 mv'. This would be the drop in supplied voltage, due to internal impedance of the cell itself. BTW, mkt-e did provide a more current link to 'telcordia' (the old 'bellcore' company holding the patents for polymer cells which valence and others have licensed): telcordia.com Sorry for the confusion. Again, what I would take away from this is that the spec sheet indicates that this cell works appropriately for GSM applications. Regards, Rich
