Terry I don't have direct knowledge on this, but you might
want to contact UC Davis here in California.  Their Department
for Transportation Studies is working on this battery.  Speak
with Dr. David Swan, as he heads up that department.

UC Davis won the Phoenix Electric 500 auto race this past March
with this same battery.

I recently read an article about a new "zinc-air" battery that is going to be 
used in Germany to power Postal vans.  The article claims the battery can get 
about 400 miles on a charge.  If anyone has any info on this process please 
let me know.
