I sent a note and will follow-up with a phone call later today (first get rid of the Monday morning alligators!) But one thing bothered me this weekend and this morning until I realized my question.
The tabs are aluminum? Aluminum is one of the most reactive metals around and it is exposed to whatever the electrolyte is in the LiON cell. I used to fill balloons with hydrogen by using the lye, coke bottle, and aluminum foil 'rod' trick. I would have thought nickel would be a better tab material.
It has no magnetic characteristics?
Not to worry, once I get mine I'll do some heavy duty testing. <grins>
