These are very small batteries. >It runs off a lithium-ion polymer battery just 0.05-inch thick that fits at the back of the player. Developed by Yuasa Corp., it has a capacity of 175 mAh at 3.6 V. The battery powers the player for about three hours. For comparative purposes, this battery has about 0.6 WH (watt-hours) compared to 30-80+ WH for laptop batteries, and 5-10 WH for cellphone batteries, and 10-30 WH for camcorder batteries. See these links: Message 5219588 Message 5219275 (point 3 in the second post) So far, the info we have on Yuasa batteries is for these very small storage applications. Also note "The companies aim to deliver products in the middle of next year." Its worth keeping an eye on Yuasa as a potential competitor, but so far Yuasa seems to aiming at these small storage applications. Paul
