Steve, The royalties on non-vehicular consumer batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, etc.) are trivial because ECD chose to get large up-front licensing fees in order to stay afloat. The fees on vehicular batteries are going to be 3%, I believe. Matsushita wasn't paying the vehicular royalties, thus the lawsuit.
