Cycling 20:00 [2]
ahr:124 max:150
Stairstepper 10:00 [3]
Walking 24:00 [1]
Easy night at the gym---Fast-O starts tomorrow, so I took it really easy (except the stairstepper---I've basically got two zones for that: barely hanging on, and dying).
Finished "Bottled Lightning: Superbatteries, Electric Cars, and the New Lithium Economy" by Seth Fletcher. I'm a bit of a battery geek. I'm way behind on most lithium batteries. This is a very good introduction to lithium batteries. The chapters are short, and are mostly self-contained. It makes the book a lot more interesting because the author keeps it moving nicely.
If electric cars become ubiquitous, and all indications are that they will, then lithium batteries are going to be very, very important.
The single biggest point I took from this book is that the lithium battery failures from a few years ago really have been addressed and changes have been made. I still won't trust generic batteries off of ebay, but I feel a lot more confident that batteries spec'd by OEMs are okay. So my next question is: Should I buy that DealExtreme LED headlamp? (I probably will.)
