Hi DD
with my poor English is difficult give you e detailed reply
but if you think all the people who write and talk about nanosafe battery and all the companies involved are LIARS it is better, before you buy the shares, you go to visit Phoenix Factory, you ask to drive the car, you watch the inside, you ask detailed explainations, you sign a contract to buy the car and specify in the contract that the batteries MUST be Altairs batteries ...
good luck !!!

Thanks for alerting us to this, but it is not an article; it is a letter to the magazine in the "Readers Say" section (11-13-06), and Alan did a good job.
Way to go, Alan! (Now, get us some legit 3rd-party battery technology confirmation, and we will be off to the races.)
Here is the letter:

Burning Up With Ideas
"Remember the Pinto" (Oct. 16) failed to examine the advances that are being made in developing lithium ion batteries that are extremely safe, reliable and powerful. My company, Altair (other-otc: ATCD.PK - news - people ) Nanotechnologies, for example, has developed a nano-structured negative electrode material called nano Lithium Titanium Oxide, or nLTO, that replaces the graphite used in "standard" lithium ion batteries with safe nanomaterials. Graphite is what causes batteries to explode. Our batteries contain no graphite. The result is a completely safe and reliable auto battery.
The environmental, economic and national security challenges posed by our nation's continued dependence on fossil fuels are not going away. It's in everyone's interest to focus on the solutions and real-time advances that are being made--and to bring them to market.

Altair Nanotechnologies Details Power Features of Its Nano Titanate Battery
Thursday September 14, 12:39 pm ET
Nanomaterials Used to Deliver Power and Fast Charge Capability Also Increase Safety of Battery
RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 2006--Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI - News), a leading provider of advanced nanomaterials and alternative energy solutions, detailed why its NanoSafe(TM) rechargeable, nano titanate battery technology provides fundamental improvements, including high power versus other rechargeable batteries.
ADVERTISEMENT
In anticipation of Altairnano's delivery of its first NanoSafe battery pack for use in an electric vehicle in September, this is the final of four planned news releases identifying features of Altairnano NanoSafe batteries that may prove advantageous in the power rechargeable battery market. In the three previous releases, Altairnano detailed why its nano titanate battery technology delivers high battery safety, rapid recharge and long battery life. The combination of these features has the potential to make Altairnano's NanoSafe batteries ideal for power applications such as electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.
How Does a Rechargeable Battery Work?
A battery consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a porous separator that keeps the electrodes from touching, and an ionic electrolyte, which is the conducting medium for ions (charged particles) between the positive and the negative electrodes. When the battery is being charged, ions transfer from the positive to the negative electrodes via the electrolyte. On discharge these ions return to the positive electrode releasing energy in the process.
Existing Lithium Ion Batteries
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries currently use graphite for the negative electrode and typically lithium cobalt oxide for the positive electrode. The electrolyte is a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent which is flammable.
An important attribute of large format batteries is their ability to deliver power quickly. During charge, lithium ions deposit inside the graphite particles. However, the rate at which lithium ions can be removed during discharge - the useful power-producing cycle of a battery - is limited by the electro-chemical properties of the graphite and the size of the graphite particles. The electrochemical properties relate to the existence of a high resistance crust (call the Solid Electrolyte Interface or SEI) that impedes the removal of lithium - the first step in power production. Also, graphite's large particle size means that lithium atoms inside the particle must travel a long distance to escape. This further increases the impedance and reduces power.
So power is restricted by the ion removal capability in lithium ion batteries, resulting in power levels of the order of 1000 watts per kilogram (W/Kg). Also, power can be affected by external factors such as temperature. At low temperatures, the lithium ion removal rate is significantly less than at room temperature resulting in power delivery at these temperatures that is greatly reduced.
Given that power delivery is governed by fundamental properties of the materials the only option is to change the materials and chemistry of the battery.
The Altairnano NanoSafe(TM) Battery
Altairnano solved this problem by using an innovative approach to rechargeable battery chemistry by replacing graphite with a patented nano-titanate material as the negative electrode in its NanoSafe batteries. The outcome is that Altairnano's NanoSafe batteries deliver power per unit weight and unit volume several times that of conventional lithium ion batteries. Altairnano laboratory measurements indicate power density as high as 4000 W/Kg and over 5000W/litre. By using nano-titanate materials as the negative electrode material, the formation of an SEI is eliminated. In addition, the nano-titanate particles are up to 100 times smaller than a typical graphite particle thereby greatly reducing the distance a lithium atom must travel to be released from the particle. These properties also mean that even at very cold temperatures, a nano-titanate battery will produce high power.
The same technology also dramatically increases battery charge and discharge rates; rapid charge is important for next generation electric vehicles so they could be charged in a few minutes rather than hours as with current lithium ion technology. As has been indicated in previous releases the NanoSafe cell has demonstrated that surges of power can be delivered without risking thermal runaway or performance damage to the battery.
Altairnano will be demonstrating its NanoSafe battery technology at the California Air Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicles meeting in Sacramento, September 25th through 27th, 2006.

Altair Nanotechnologies to Demonstrate Advances in NanoSafe(TM) Rechargeable Battery Program at Zero Emission Vehicle Symposium; Safety, Reliability, Performance Are Focus of Altairnano Presentation and Technology Demonstration
RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 2006--Advances in the manufacture of safe, fast-charging, long-lasting batteries used to power electric and hybrid electric vehicles will be addressed by Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) at the California Air Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Technology Symposium, held September 25-27, 2006 in Sacramento, California.
On September 27, at 2:30 p.m., Evan House, Ph.D., Director of Altairnano's Advanced Materials & Power Systems business unit, will deliver a presentation on Altairnano's NanoSafe(TM) rechargeable nano-titanate battery program. In addition, Altairnano will demonstrate its NanoSafe battery technology throughout the Zero Emission Vehicles conference.
A leader in advanced nanomaterials and alternative energy solutions, Altairnano has forged an innovative path in battery chemistry by replacing graphite (which can cause batteries to malfunction or explode under certain conditions) with its patented nano-titanate material which is safe and reliable.
Altairnano's nano-titanate material can be charged and discharged significantly more often than conventional batteries because of the absence of particle fatigue that plagues graphite. Conventional lithium ion batteries can be charged about 750 times before they are no longer useful. In comparison, Altairnano NanoSafe battery cells have now achieved over 9,000 charge and discharge cycles at rates up to 40 times greater than are typical of common batteries, while retaining up to 85 percent charge capacity.
"It's an honor to be invited to present at the California Air Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicle Symposium and we look forward to providing substantive details on the role Altair Nanotechnologies is playing in making safe, powerful, long life, reliable electric vehicles a mass-market reality," Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc.

Altair Nanotechnologies Details Long Life Features of its Nano Titanate Battery

Long Life Combined with Safety and Fast Charge Provides Compelling Battery Proposition
RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 2006--Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI - News), a leading provider of advanced nanomaterials and alternative energy solutions detailed why its NanoSafe(TM) nano titanate battery technology provides fundamental improvements over other batteries technologies for the rechargeable battery market.
ADVERTISEMENT
In anticipation of Altairnano's delivery of its first NanoSafe battery pack in September, this is the third of four planned news releases identifying features of Altairnano NanoSafe batteries that may prove advantageous in the power rechargeable battery market. The next and final battery backgrounder will discuss battery power capacity. The previous two feature releases detailed the NanoSafe battery fast charge and safety attributes. The combination of these features has the potential to make Altairnano's NanoSafe batteries ideal for power applications such as electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.
How Does a Rechargeable Battery Work?
A battery consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a porous separator that keeps the electrodes from touching, and an ionic electrolyte, which is the conducting medium for ions (charged particles) between the positive and the negative electrodes. When the battery is being charged, ions transfer from the positive to the negative electrodes via the electrolyte. On discharge these ions return to the positive electrode releasing energy in the process.
Existing Lithium Ion Batteries
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generally use graphite for the negative electrode and typically lithium cobalt oxide for the positive electrode. The electrolyte is a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent which is flammable.
During charge, lithium ions deposit inside the graphite particles and are then released on discharge. When the lithium ions enter or leave the graphite particles, the particles expand or shrink to accommodate the lithium ion's size which is larger than the original site within the graphite particle that the ion occupies. Over the life of the battery, this repeated expansion and shrinkage fatigues the graphite particles. As a consequence the particles break apart, causing a loss in electrical contact between the resulting particles thereby reducing battery performance. The same process is repeated over the dynamic life of the battery - particle fatigue breakage and diminished performance until the battery is no longer useful.
The Altairnano NanoSafe(TM) Battery
Altairnano solved this problem using an innovative approach to rechargeable battery chemistry by replacing graphite with a patented nano-titanate material as the negative electrode in its NanoSafe batteries.
This nano-titanate material is a "zero strain" material in terms of lithium ion internal deposition and release. The lithium ions have the same size as the sites they occupy in the nano-titanate particles. As a result the nano-titanate particles do not have to expand or shrink when the ions are entering or leaving the nano-titanate particles, therefore resulting in no (zero) strain to the nano-titanate material. This property results in a battery that can be charged and discharged significantly more often than conventional rechargeable batteries because of the absence of particle fatigue that plagues materials such as graphite. Conventional lithium batteries can be typically charged about 750 times before they are no longer useful, whereas, in laboratory testing, the Altairnano NanoSafe battery cells have now achieved over 9,000 charge and discharge cycles at charge and discharge rates up to 40 times greater than are typical of common batteries, and they still retain up to 85% charge capacity.
As an example of the application significance of this feature if a conventional lithium battery is charged and discharged every day then it would typically last for about 2 years. Under the same scenario, an Altairnano battery would be projected to last 25 years. This durability is critical in a high value application like electric vehicles.
Altairnano will be demonstrating its NanoSafe battery technology at the California Air Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicles meeting in Sacramento, September 25th through 27th, 2006.
