No one uses Enerland anymore, except PolyQuest as far as I know.

A123Systems bought out Enerland, and Polyquest as well, as it is now a division of A123systems.

I am not sure if they have a 'newer' chemistry to compete with the other brands packs (G3 35C, TP 40C....), because the old school Enerland cells don't even compare to these packs, as good as they are.

About Chinese manufacturing... for a given price point, you CAN make a MUCH better product in China vs. Korea, or anywhere else. Take for example my oldest brother's brand new audiophile vacuum tube amplifier ('Melody' brand), this amp has been rated, with 'price-no-object', THE best amp in the world for mid range acoustics, period. The amp costs around $2,500... the quality is out of this world, the sounds it makes I can't even describe... now if you tried to make the very same amp, same quality control elsewhere, it will cost much more. My point here is well, I don't know what my point is... all I am saying is that you can make a much better product in China than anywhere else, as long as it's not a slave labor, boot camp type operation... simply because it is much cheaper to do things over there.

Im hungry, I'm going to get something to eat.
