Dennis, as far as I know, epoxy is a polymer and thus should that not be covered by the Bellcore patents? Should I bother to go to the yahoo thread and search for this? I rarely go there. Zeev

>>For those who don't want to bother, it's a canister design with injected epoxy electrolyte, 10X capacity of lith ion. Now, if one were looking for a battery related scam... this is a possibility, actually, the first I've seen among the various wannabe's that could qualify.<< Think about it... batteries are a personal, emotional product- a lot like cars. Everybody uses them and have sighed relief when they fix the problem (flashlite, walkman, cordless phone...) and cussed them when they didn't work. Because everybody owns them and relies on them, they think they know them - like their own cars. Now enter the scamsters. If you strap a cow magnet on you batteries, I've heard that you can double their capacity. I saw it happen at the beach last summer. The batteries lasted longer than two cases of beer! Not to waste your time, I'll let your imagination run the thousands of iterations that are possible. Check out a J.C. Whitney car accessories catalogue for creative scam ideas, if so inclined.
