A Califorinan company has installed a
charging point and larger Lith Ion batteries and getting 120mph (US)

A 4 pack of 40 litre AA Duracells please.


Again drivel is probably randomly correct in this instance.

A pack of 40 liter duracells would neither get you the power nor the range
of the Lithium cells.


Anyway, ou will be able to judge for yourselves, The first power tools
wioth Li-Ion batteries are due to hit the shops about now.

Thats the first consumer 'power' application apart from RC aircraft to
actually use them in anger...prices should be a LOT better once you guys
have all bought them.

Mobile phones and laptops have had them for a few years now.
