More on ULBI palmtop battery. Here's an interesting post on the Yahoo ULBI thread referring to the same EE Times article I posted last night. messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com If Ultralife uses three of their cells, that is only a 9 wH battery. This just isn't going to make it; most laptop batteries are in the 25-50 wH range, and to get long battery life between recharges of over 6 hours, most laptops will need over 50 wH. If Ultralife tries to sell this battery, they will only be competing for fairly small computing devices, probably devices that don't contain a hard drive. The market for long lasting laptop batteries is clear for Valence to dominate. More good news. Paul
