Okay, Jaye, you've piqued our (at least my) interest in the emerging battery techs, once again. But there is a sea of white, admittedly, between my last foray into this area and the current state of the art.

Do you know of a good primer location on the 'net that was written within the past few months (anything older would, I suspect, be historical and useless) for bootstrapping purposes?

My interests in this area stem from how improved battery and other powering alternatives portend to change the face of networking topologies. Mid-ocean fiber amplification, wireless repeater and terminus sites in extremely "deep rural" areas, hostile environment two-way, etc., in addition to mobile/personal wireless appliances.

Also, how would you rank Valence next to its closest competitors purely on the basis of its technological and efficiency trade-off metrics? TIA, Frank

re: Lithium Polymer Batteries for wireless appliances

Valence (VLNC) announces $15M PO from a European cellphone mfgr ... I guess Ericsson ... cells for 1.5M GSM units. Another landmark in LiPoly adoption. Background upstream.
