Not really applicable to our use but there is at least one other type, or a variant. That is the high temperature Lithium(not sure if it is an -ion cell, which keeps its contents at about 260degrees C. Those are the cells that will be powering our new minibus, once I find someone to cough up the £40K+. Loses about 2% of its charge per day maintaining its temperature. No charge loss at room temperature but the battery takes a few hours to warm up if you let it cool. No use for motor vehicles,or much else that i can think of. > > > On Fri, Jan 04, 2008 at 01:54:34AM -0400, Amita Guha wrote: > > How the heck are you supposed to find out how much lithium content > > your battery has?
