Hi Sergio - Re: Battery Technology R&D at a value price I have been researching OM Group. They have a fairly large Battery Division omgi.com Within this Division is a subsidiary company called EaglePicher Technologies, LLC eaglepicher.com EaglePicher Technologies is a leading provider of advanced batteries and battery materials. EaglePicher Medical Power develops implantable batteries used in medical devices. My interest lie in efficient consumer batteries that are required in all the new smart phones. It looks like they have a Consumer Group that targets their research and development in this area. eaglepicher.com The use of specialized materials integrated w/ new technologies (ie smart charging systems) is producing more efficient and powerful batteries for this growing market. OM Group's Battery division makes up only 9% of the total annual revenues. Still it is a fairly large player (sales $130M) in the area they focus in. For a value play, OMG's forward PE of 7.5, buys almost a 10% pure emerging R&D battery play. EKS
