Bob,A week or two back I sent you two AA cells to test. Have you had time to do so?
Just curious to find out if I made a good purchase or not.

Doing some house maintenance this weekend and during
a trip to Home Depot for some parts and supplies, I
was "sucked in" by a Black and Decker "VPX Power" display
at the checkout stand.
http://www.vpxsystem.com/
The battery for this new line of cordless power tools
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Battery/Black_and_Decker/VPX_Battery_1.jpg
is LiIon and the battery on display was advertised at 7 volts.
A very compact critter . . .

but no place on the packaging (or later on the 'net)
was I able to discover the capacity of this device.
Sooooo . . . keeping Lord Kelvin's admonition about
numbers in mind, I purchased a battery/charger
combination to do some testing.
I've got the battery on charge right now. Will cap-test
it later today and report the results. This product
(or a pair of them) might offer some interesting
solutions to brown-out protection and/or small
back-up batteries. Watch this space.
In the mean time, I'll get back to making little
piles of sawdust and drill chips.

Just posted the data. How much did you pay for these?
They held their own in the constellation of low-cost
cells to date. If you picked these up for 30 cents or
less, I would think they're a good value.
Of course, this was a VERY small sample but the
data was encouraging enough to warrant some
in-service testing. Let us know what your impressions
are after you've used up a couple dozen.
