This is so funny, I forgot "Wilderness Energy" yet again. Must be a mental block or something that I can remember obscure products like Palmer Industries and...
Bion-X will succumb to LiFePO4, as will all the previous Lithium -Ion users (I predict). Even Tesla will fall eventually - simply because the chemistry makes...
