My understanding from the battery experts that the poly had the same basic nasty chemistry of the Lithium Ion, and that was why they developed the Lithium Iron. I think it was Steve Heckeroth (the EV car conversion guru) who re-inforced that thinking, and of course was pushing Lithium Iron. Of course he discounted NiMH which I didn't like. There are some companies (like Nilar in Centennial, CO) that are doing some neat things with NiMH.
