Wow, BG, you have a really mean attitude, I just wanted to point that out as my colleague were shocked by how much I have paid. No other purpose on my sides.
My goal was not to make battery for electronics. The electronic industry manufactures such pouch cells in large quantity (hundred of millions) and assemble them to various sizes, most of them used for other applications, such as Apple MacBook, so their cost is low despite low volume of particular HMC150 battery. My goal is to make large battery pack (500 times bigger), probably asks for $9000 for use in your car. If Panasonic would make this battery from scratch, it is likely to cost $3000 per cell. My company is NOt interested in making this particular even it is sold for $999 because we DO not have a volume for this type of cells and unlikely to make profit even $999.
