Anybody heard anything about the "YESS" battery?
This is the company that owns it, website ERRA INC.. There is no information there as the site is under construction.
Does sound interesting, I shall wait and see if more folks turn up good info or info proving it is snake oil.

An announcment of some new revolutionary battery technology from some little startup company pops up about every 6 months. It's mostly vaporware designed to fuel an IPO for the penny stock speculators.
I see these announcements in a different light. We are in a mind boggling moment in battery technology. As was pointed out there are a lot of start up companies and wan-a-be's who have some new take on different battery chemistry's. All are promising the Moon and they all have one need in common, money. But this is how new stuff is brought to market. Most will have nothing to do with it and this is why many things get lost to time or take decades to develop. Great ideas can eventually rise to the surface, when more folks look at them and bring their own ideas to massage them to even better potential.
I have no doubt that there is a HUGE need/market for better battery technology. I am excited that so many are involved in the quest in finding that technology. Once this final hurdle is crossed we will be on the road to energy independence. Foreign oil will be, in large part, a thing of the past.
I for one cannot wait. Once these better batteries come to market they will bring with them the added benefit of other already existing wind, and solar, type of energy making technologies. These are where we need to be focusing our limited funds in making these our #1 priority, IMO.
Sadly there is not just the struggle to bring new technologies to market and getting them to work and getting them funded. There is also the assault from existing companies that want to keep the status-quo. They use FUD (fear, uncertainty and deception) to prevent, or at the least, hinder the progress and acceptance of these new and competing technologies. They also lobby politicians to keep them down which can kill an idea. By the way, to lobby means to bribe. Congress is most truly for sale. More so now then ever before.
I wonder how well Thomas Alva Edison would have done in today's business and political climate?

I am very close to having perfected my 110volt "Cold Fusion" battery which will negate the necessity of a charger or an inverter (read here as cost savings $$!!). The delay in this design is mostly due to difficulties at arriving at an effective means to limit the batteries output to only 110 volts, and in finding a 'sliding' radiation containment tray to make battery watering easy, but after a few trashed toasters and tased eyebrows, I am on the cusp of overcoming these minor annoyances. On a more positive (+) note, battery efficiency will in fact actually increase in the coldest of weather, therefore the perfect choice for us boondockers!!
