question<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Looks interesting, I've been waiting for Li+
to start making sense on larger scales. <BR>The cycle life does not
appear to be better than a HUP lead acid battery, despite the claims of "10
times the cycle life of an AGM battery" I'm confused because in their
white paper they also claim: 200 cycles at 100% DOD < 2000 cycles at 80%
DOD > 3000 cycles at 80% DOD. <BR>What does that mean?<BR>Also the
warranty has 3 yr free replacement, 10 yr prorated, but doesn't cover shipping
or installation, and also demands an engineering evaluation of the
installation to allow the warranty. Despite their claims of being the
most comprehensive warranty in the business; it is not.<BR>My entire power
tool collection as well as my computer and phone run on Li+, so I'm a
believer, but I've also been vetting BS claims in our industry for over 2
decades. Corvus needs to put more time into some BCI cycle life charts,
and provide a warranty that covers shipping and installation time like
others. Some case studies, and independent testing would help as
well.<BR>Anybody have any ball park pricing on this?<BR><PRE class=moz-signature cols="72">R.Ray Walters

information about lithium-ion batteries, I'm looking for referrals to
current suppliers with available product, with specifications and retail
pricing available. Having read Randy Richmond's article on Li-I in HP153
earlier this year and Dan Fink's posts here, I understand the advantages
and limitations. I am just looking for actual supplier websites and
contacts, please.<BR>Thank you,<BR>Allan<BR>
