Yes Klaus, also not my soup

, and the price :evil: , but somewhere they have to start. Interesting though the article in the local austrian news about new batteries; sorry it's in German but says as much as:
http://science.orf.at/science/news/154904
MIT scientists from the US made a breaktrough in battery technology so that in the future, they can be charged within minutes or even seconds to their full capacity. New technology is based on a Lithium-Phosphate coating whereas current ones use a Lithium-Ferrum-Phosphate coat.

PS: by the way, the Royal Enfield project got too complicated for my former colleague, so he will heed my advice and get a new one from the UK. Anyway, many many thanks for your efforts. Once we meet, beer's on my bill !!!!
