I thought this was a joke. I had to look this up. that name is real. B good enough.
I like the line in the article, " His cause of death was not provided." His cause of death was 100. Jeez that's good enough. Pun intended.
I guess proving that even lithium can't last forever.
For the record, an enormous amount is currently being spent on Li batteries to improve them (capacity & safety). The batteries being used for current loco installations are much improved.
I appreciate you sharing! Glad he lived long enough to see his work become mainstream. I bet that was very rewarding. He's a got a great name too!
