The following is a post I found a few months ago about a rechargeable
Lithium batteries for notebook computers.  I've tried to e-mail and
regular-mail the sender of this post for addition infomation about
these batteries.  I am interested in knowing what sizes these
batteries are, what computers do there fit in, how much do they cost,
where can I find/order them, and after 200 charging cycles to what
degree does their performance degrade?

Thanks in advance, Anita Krajnc (Internet: akrajn@epas.utoronto.ca).
