Tweety: breathe... Again... Calm, calm.

I didn't choose the misleading words Lithium-Ion in my previous post - the forum software grabbed those words from the EV Album itself.

So obviously if the EV Album doesn't use the right terminology it's probably fair to say there's a fair amount of ignorance out there about lithium chemistries. (And I'll happily admit I'm at the bottom of the lithium learning curve myself.)

By all means, please feel free to clarify & educate! Please do! Your input is welcome - looks like you've done the homework.

(But also tune in to the light-hearted nature of the thread - or just about any thread Paul has started! Have you read his Metro conversion saga? I'd buy tickets to read an "immersion learning" experience authored by Paul about somehow using lithium to power an EV on the cheap. I have a feeling by the end of it there would be a fair amount of clarity about the idiosyncrasies of the different chemistries.)
