Lets Keep the Sat. Reading rolling...Found this Inside.....Panasonic website. I typed in SJL in the information box and it let to this diagram on a PDF. Does anyone know how to interpret Japanese? Also, check out the article below this mentioning that Tesla is seeking desperately the lowest cost/most efficient battery which is the missing link for them to get costs down for their Model 3......looks like SJL could help with that?
