Hi Javelyn, good post. Valence's statement about being the dominant supplier was obviously before the failed Sony deal. At the time, license agreements would have been the mechanism for participating in the lion's share of the market. Valence's direction seems to have shifted toward the laptop market, and Valence appears to be first with the capability of mass production of Li-polymer.

I am new to this sector and currently hold no position in VLNC or any other "battery-making" stock. I enjoyed your detailed overview of battery-making (NiCD, NiMH, Li-Ion, and Li-Polymer) and would like to learn more. Questions: What other stocks offer promise in this sector? What would be the top two or three? I am excited about the potential of VLNC based on the comments on this thread. However, I am cautious. I am looking to buy in, but don't want to be sitting on dead money for a long time. I need a strategy on this stock and would like your or anyone's suggestions. Luis
