Thanks Tomw, That was a nice video. I didn't hear any contradictions. I learned somethings about cell construction I did not know. Dahn was lecturing to explain HPC testing, and Whitacre was lecturing to help people who assemble and manage packs, so they have a little different slant. Regardi

Side reaction rates increase with temperature, but that is only part of the story. The rates are even more dependent on cell voltage, and Dahn mentions this: *• The biggest factor is time spent at highest voltage. o Longer is worse o Most of the parasitic reactions happen above

I doubt that EnerDel and its customers have overlooked anything as basic as performance and life at ambient temperatures. It appears to me that Hoegberg is comparing to some float stand-by application and then misinterpreting the presented data.  But whatever.  They have millions of cells in the
