Michael, thanks for that important clarification about ECD battery licensees not having to identify themselves. This makes me feel a lot better about one of my speculations in 4103: "It is not unusual for companies to claim a development for their own after doing only a, sometimes small, part of the whole -- perhaps only the cell packaging, in the case at hand. Actually, the cell packaging for EV use is not a trivial task, given the cooling problems, etc.. (As an aside, is this what Saft has done recently re their announcement of "their" new EV NiMh battery?)" So, it appears to me the correct interpretation is that both Saft and Matsushita/Panasonic are likely touting "new" batteries that were engineered using ECD technology.
