Jim, just wanted to clarify that Polystor's products appear based on liquid electrolyte in canisters technology. <<PolyStor's prismatic ICP-340948 cell provides state-of-the-art performance at 1100 mAh, 252 Wh/L and 92 Wh/kg. PolyStor's cylindrical ICR-18650 cell provides competitive performance at 1.35 Ah, 300 Wh/L and 120 Wh/kg.>> Notice that the word "polymer" is not mentioned and that their prismatic (rectangular shape) version holds only 92 watt-hour per kilogram. This low number is most likely the result of the canister weight. IMO we should expect upwards of 150 wh/kilo for Valence's present prismatic solid polymer and over 200 wh/kilo for their next generation.
