Dang, they had floods, just like Boulder, CO? But Calgary is on a plain. Is it near a river?
Back on topic...I read the Wiki article. Very interesting to learn about all the different chemistries. I'd read about some but not all. Some seem very exotic like vanadium pentoxide.
But there was one thing that struck me, early in the list lithium manganese chemistry is mentioned and is said to be 80% of the consumer market, and is said to be good for low drain applications. This isn't consistent with what I know. Lithium cobalt is just listed way down near the bottom, and doesn't even get a description. Did they maybe switch lithium cobalt with lithium manganese? On the other hand the voltage cited for lithium manganese is correct. I'd like to hear what the experts think.
