Brent. It sure would be nice to get some of those Li-ion batteries they're
using in the plug-in electric cars.
Some companies are making them the size of car batteries, and the flash
recharge time to 80% is as low as 6 minutes, with a 100% charge taking 4
hours.
A car company here in Calif. called Phoenix Motorcars is producing small
trucks for fleet use, and they have the batteries, but when can the general
public get some ? I wonder if a group such as ours could get them to sell us
some for testing in a sub ? I recall their site ( the battery co. ) as saying
they promote testing their batteries in different applications.
The best one I've seen uses a nano type material, I think it was phosphate
based, with virtually no danger of fire or explosion which was common on some of
the other types of Li-ion batteries.
