Bill, there's no report forthcoming. I
don't know how you got that message - sorry.

Hi Allan,
You might want to talk to someone at Multi Contact as they are
introducing a line of Li-I connectors. I would be very surprised
if they did this without extensive market research as to who would
buy the product.
Looking forward to your report.

Looks interesting, I've been waiting for
Li+ to start making sense on larger scales.
The cycle life does not appear to be better than a HUP lead acid
battery, despite the claims of "10 times the cycle life of an
AGM battery" I'm confused because in their white paper they
also claim: 200 cycles at 100% DOD < 2000 cycles at 80% DOD
> 3000 cycles at 80% DOD.
What does that mean?
Also the warranty has 3 yr free replacement, 10 yr prorated, but
doesn't cover shipping or installation, and also demands an
engineering evaluation of the installation to allow the
warranty. Despite their claims of being the most comprehensive
warranty in the business; it is not.
My entire power tool collection as well as my computer and phone
run on Li+, so I'm a believer, but I've also been vetting BS
claims in our industry for over 2 decades. Corvus needs to put
more time into some BCI cycle life charts, and provide a
warranty that covers shipping and installation time like
others. Some case studies, and independent testing would help
as well.
Anybody have any ball park pricing on this?
