Thanks Steve, The battery pack described appears to be 3, 6, or 9 4.8 volt (MnO2) cells in series. Polymer was not mentioned so I would assume they are in metal cans. The innovation appears to be the smart recharging circuitry. 33 watt-hr of storage capacity was mentioned. For comparison, three 4"x4"Valence (MnO2) laptop cells can be connected in series for about 50 watt-hr at about the same nominal voltage and probably less weight due to the absence of the metal cans. Weight was not mentioned in the article. The 4x4" size and shape, would not be compatible, of course, as a retrofit to a particular battery pack. Regards, FMK
