Todd, It looks like Chuzzlewit had his thinking cap on! Apparently the $12 to $14,000 was from the ULBI pricing of $12 to $14 per battery based on quantity. I believe the $8000 to $10,000 came from an $8 to $10 estimate from over a year ago from Valence based on an old version with 300 recharges and lower energy storage. It's hard to tell what they may have negotiated recently for their higher-performance version. Perhaps OEM's will pay in excess of ULBI's pricing for the VLNC because of its "higher horsepower to weight ratio"! Regards, FMK

More cleverness from Yahoo- A naysayer posted over the weekend that he verified production was imminent when he "talked with the head grounds keeper at the Northern Ireland location." Another poster thought the groundskeeper may have taken an extra battery down the block to the new Dell Computer plant. The poster remarked "There goes the neighborhood!" I understand there are some notable factories nearby, including the Dell plant only 1 or 2 blocks away. In fact, I heard that they had trouble with that groundskeeper- management is worried that he may have become confused and mistakenly taken the battery to the nearby Motorola plant!
