In my state of complete mental exhaustion I left out the following:

Lithium Polymer
-like cobalt, can be very dangerous if mistreated
-Very high power density, are popular for RC craft
-Energy density can very, typically appears to be less than Cobalt, but
still very high
-Need a special Li-Po charger
-Generally used for applications requiring high power in small battery size.
A123 will likely replace them as A123s become more available as they have a
higher power density, and are safer
-Cycle life similar to that of Cobalt

Evercel(Nickel Zinc)
-I don't think you can get them anymore, please correct me if I'm
wrong and provide
a source
-Initially looked promising at about 2x the energy density of lead-acid
- http://www.electricmotorsport.com used to carry them
- http://www.nizn.com/ appears they have just quit

"Silicon Batteries"
-Similar to traditional lead-acid
- http://www.greensavercorp.com/
-Offers numerous advantages when compared to lead-acid, including low
temperature performance, ability to sit discharged, and slightly longer
cycle life
-Included in the E-max, not sure if they still are
-Have a different charging voltage and profile than traditional lead-acid
-Not sure if anyone could get any, except by buying an E-max.

Hope this helps and good luck.
