Wow, $ 249 retail for 6.5 hours of life. Sounds pretty good to me - I'll bet if a battery manufacturer could produce a lightweight battery with > 10 hours of life, they would be able to get $ 75 or so at manufacturing levels, wouldn't you?

Hi Michael, What you reported is a lith ion battery consisting of a 3 canister cylinder with volume of about 0.07 liter. The complete package has an energy density of about 265 Watt hours per liter, roughly comparable to others of the type and in the same ball park as the VLNC cells shown on the web page. The weight is typical of this technology and probably exceeds that of a lith poly of similar performance. Another useful reference would be specs of the new, pilot project Hanil LP cell which has a reputed 360 watt hours per liter and therefore weighs less than either, all else being equal. You should know that Hanil is a joint venture partner of Valence and there is some sharing of technology.
