Good for everyone except I wish those batteries were made here. Still we need all the battery technology we can get. I have been doing some thinking about the battery industry in general and I think that when a battery is developed by some american university which can be made 95% by robotics, we may have the technology which can be produced in this country. I believe there is hope in the new technology that is going to be in battery cells that can be printed on paper. If there is no requirement for any hand labor assembly then they could me made in the usa. I am thinking cells printed on a long strip of paper than can be folded back on itself (think accordian) to make the multi cell configuration needed for a high amp high voltage pack. With a little luck that will be the next battery coming down the tube.
