I still have not given up entirely, but I am discouraged. I am not
the type that is discouraged easily. As Steve says, it appears to be a
large undertaking to "roll your own" Li-Ion cells. Not that it can't be
done, but it won't be easy. If anyone can do it, I suspect it might be
Otmar, perhaps with a little help from Bob Schniewise.
