>From the thread it is not clear to me what the Thunder-Sky Batteries are. As to Evercell, I would be interested to know who, if anyone, has been able to get these, and how they are doing. Maybe I need to read elsewhere in recent messages. I followed Evercell (it is a publicly traded company) a couple of years ago when it was spun off from FCEL. Things looked good for a few months, the stock went through the roof with a lot of other similar stocks, or perhaps even more so, and they seemed to go through money like there was no tomorrow. Shareholders (I think many of them holding from having been FCEL shareholders) arrogantly lectured others (such as ENER shareholders.... maybe a bit of poetic justice there.... ) that they were a bit foolish not to own EVRC. But then the stuff hit the fan, and they collapsed. It was a wonder they didn't go bankrupt, or maybe they did and recovered. It's been a long time since I took a hard look at them. It is disappointing that people who want to do business with them are, to this day, put off (apparently), but maybe that's a misperception on my part and they are not as hard to get as all that?
