Not far behind Ultralife: In mid-November, Battery Engineering/Maxell announced the availability of its Relion lithium-ion polymer batteries. The Relion's capacity has been improved over previous versions and can be custom designed for a variety of computer, medical, cellular and related OEM applications. batteryeng.com Also see: 204.243.31.39

Your posts have outdated information in them. The introduction of Ultralife's laptop batteries in the Mitsubishi's Pedion was touted as the first commercial application of Li-polymer for laptops. Unfortunately, this effort failed. The batteries were hand produced at an apparent loss, and were never available in commercial quantities. The relationship between Ultralife and Mitsubishi has been severed, and according to a post on Yahoo, Mitsubishi is working with another vendor at this time. From what information is available, it doesn't appear that Ultralife has a viable commercial laptop battery, let alone one a longer life battery that has at least 30-45Wh capacity. Please post any relevant info that supports that Ultralife has a laptop battery available in commercial quantities in this range. Paul
