Battery Discussions in the Archives linked at the top of this page are in no way intended to denigrate the
work of others on the subject of batteries. However, it is not uncommon for errors to creep into battery related articles

the voids. Since retirement I have made it my undertaking to share as much battery information as possible with the modeling
public, information which until now been held back by the industry for "marketing" or "commercial" reasons
or perhaps because the average consumer could care less.
