>From what I can tell it is not a lead-acid system.  The manufacturer is 
a little vague on what design is used.  I'm trying to find out more and
push them into considering other venues that would need light duty power
sources (say .25 kWh).  But they seem to want to stay in moderate duty
high profit areas for some reason <g>.

Now one bit of caution - these systems are fairly new and I don't have 
information yet on the longevity of the batteries.  The company I work
for just bought some equipment two weeks ago and it was only last Friday
that I had a chance to inspect and use them for myself.
