Checked with 3 Radio Shacks this weekend and a Sears. All Radio Shack's racks hold 12 to 13 9v Batteries. - In large mall in city, 2 on the rack, salesman said that they sell a couple a week. Buyers go right to them as if they know what they what. - In my town's mall, 10 on rack, they said they sell about 3 per week, customers that buy them go right to them. - Near campus in my town, 10 on rack, they said that they sell a lots of them. I asked if that was about 10 per week? They both gave me a puzzled look and one of them said that customers are buying 20 at a time! He said that it was far superior to the alkaline batteries and he point a sign and said that an alkaline last about 3 days and the ULBI battery last about two weeks! - Sears in my town's mall, salesman was confused and thought that they were rechargeable NiMH batteries. He thought that they may sell a couple a week. On the Nokia battery, it does look positive for ULBI even if it is not theirs. We know it can't be VLNC because FMK says that theirs has a much high energy density and their production line is setup to produce millions at a time. Moli's is the wrong voltage and the Japanize aren't producing yet. So that leaves T&B, who is selling to the Koreans, Battery Engineering, Gould, or unknown, or ULBI who is in bed with the Taiwanize and we know that ULBI used to be with Nokia. Also at the annual meeting they said that they making a battery for the 6100 series Nokia phones. Note in the Barron's article it quoted Bruce Jagid saying "company's plant near Rochester, New York, is now producing plastic lithium ion batteries and that the fully automated facility can make "many millions" a year." exchange2000.com I have not seen anybody else claim this volume right now. The salesman at Radio Shack said that the 6120 was a 3.7v phone and that the 6110 was nearly identical. The 6120 was very small.
