Re: Bolder go where no one has gone before

Hello to All,
   Rich Brown already answered this querry about Bolder batteries quite well,
but I want to add a bit:

    The information that Rich left out, is how the Bolder battery's 'energy
density' compares to other lead acid type batteries. Most all of Rich's
excellent answer about the Bolder battery, revolved around its outstanding
'power density'. Even if one 'could' afford enough of them for an EV with 25
miles or more range per charge, there would be no benefit to using Bolder cells
over other lead acid type batteries where range is concerned, as the Bolder
cells do not have any more energy density than other kinds of affordable lead
acid batteries. The Bolder cells DO have way more power density than other lead
acid batteries, and in the arena of power density, they rule! The Bolder cells
do not, however, offer any gains in energy density, which is what is important
for a range oriented EV.
     If you're looking for instantanious horsepower (power density) from the
lightest possible lead acid pack, you want Bolder cells, they're awesome! If you
want lead acid batteries that have the best energy density for the longest range
per charge, look elsewhere.

See Ya......John Wayland
