As we can see, even professionals can be fooled! Caution should always be exercised. You have to determine what level of trust you grant to everything you come across on the internet, and you cannot rely solely on others to determine at what level you should trust information. You need to use a combination of your personal experience and outside information to set that level of trust.
I posted about Electrovaya on my site before (http://www.ask-mark.com/?p=216). I don't know if their battery tech has gotten any better, but our previous experience with them (both the batteries and the company) was less than stellar. To sum it up: the batteries, as they were engineered, were known by the company to expand and/or explode. Electrovaya refused to help us with our problem, suggesting that this was normal. They also conveniently reduced their warrantee coverage when they noticed many of their customers were requesting warrantee repairs/replacements.
