>>Uh, last time I checked solvents and liquids were not synonymous. Gel is not liquid.<< KIS - I had forgotten to reply to this one, but I remembered it today when a similar subject came up at work. You need to check again about solvents. "Solvent" is defined as "a subsance that dissolves a solid to form a solution". (As an example, water is a solvent for sugar.) Ergo, solvents have to be liquid or semi-liquid. A gel is suspension of a solid within a liquid. The physical properties of a gel are more like those of a liquid than a solid. Because they use a suspension of lithium ion within a solvent, those type of Lithium Ion batteries are referred to as Liquid Lithium Ion batteries. FYI, nobody said anything about sloshing inside of Liquid Lithium Ion batteries. They just correctly referred to a specific type of battery as a Liquid Lithium Ion battery. - Allen
