Larry, do you know if all that microscopic surface area equals a high
mass and/or density? Not that it's likely to be an issue: if these
lithium/nanotube batteries have the same weight and dimensions as
lead-acid, the ability to rapidly charge alone would find them a ready
market.

They are TINY by comparison. That little Li-Ion cell in the picture with
the big spade lugs coming out the bottom is something like 5AH! The name
of all this game is SURFACE AREA. The tiny tubes have a larger surface
area than any known thing on the planet! Microscopic channels where
electrons can be stored, directly, like in the ultracapacitor or chemically
in Lithium ions....all in parallel for amazing capacity.

Keep a close eye on this evolving technology. At the moment, it answers a
LOT of tough questions about electron storage we never had answers for,
before.

Tiny and light....a cellphone you charge once a month in 3 minutes flat.

Next time that damned VHF marine handi goes dead 500 yards from the
dockhand you're trying to talk to, wish those cheap-assed NiCds NMEA put in
it were these new Li-Ion cells....(c;
