Javelyn, I think we need someone to do a sanity check on some of the calculations below. If what I seem to see is right, then the statements made at Power 98 about volumetric efficiency of lith ion vs. lith poly are seriously out of date. As out of date as the home page data for Valence on which those statements were probably based. Assuming a voltage of 3.8, I calculate the efficiency of the Hanil single cell to be 361 watt hours per liter and the efficiency of the moli single cell to be 277 watt hours per liter. Also the published data for the first(?) generation Valence cell to be about 276 watt hours per liter. It seems highly likely that Valence cells are in the works which can match or exceed the Hanil performance levels calculated above. I might mention here that the differences between the Hanil and Moli are not quite as great as mentioned in my previous post in which I used stacked cells for comparison. As soon as cylindrical cells are packaged or "stacked", volumetric efficiency is compromised. Not so with flat cells. Therefore, the advantage goes to lith poly based on architecture as well as chemistry.
