It is a combination of fad and good driving techniques. Not yet a household word – it should be.</p> by: Joel (Links 6/3/08`) http://www.evconvert.com/article/links-6308#c002539 <p><strong>Links 6/3/08`</strong></p> <p>I believe they are way better than <span class="caps">AGM</span>, they ahve way more capacity, and should last longer</p> by: James May (Links 6/3/08`) http://www.evconvert.com/article/links-6308#c002535 <p><strong>Links 6/3/08`</strong></p> <p>I’m so pleased to see the Firefly batteries available to the public. Maybe they are only a little better then existing high end <span class="caps">AGM</span>s but it’s an improvement. I notice from the spec sheet on this battery that Firefly are using a standard-ish positive plate and only using their Microcell™ technology on the negative plate. I expect there’s more improvement to come in the future.</p> by: Phil Feinstein (Links 6/3/08`) http://www.evconvert.com/article/links-6308#c002533 <p><strong>Links 6/3/08`</strong></p> <p>Matsushita is one of <strong><span class="caps">THE</span></strong> names in batteries in Japan. If you’ve used anything cordless by Makita, you’ve used a Matsushita battery. This is not a little thing, this is a rather big company.</p>
