The conductivity issue seems to be a critical factor in applying iron phosphate chemistries to automotive applications. Apparently they are at least equal to cobalt oxide in this regard. Here's part of a Yahoo post by 'Great Lakes Scientist' on this subject: "The preliminary information suggests that phosphate materials adopted by Valence have good conductivity. Otherwise, the 65 Wh model won’t be able to charge the battery and power the laptop computer at the same time. Nonetheless, we still need additional information before we can compare the conductivity of Valence’s iron phosphate with lithium metal oxides. In the mean time, we can only say that the conductivity of iron phosphate is as good as or better than cobalt oxide." messages.yahoo.com - T -
