RE:Just so my root question is very clear here

2. What exactly are they comparing between the two?
3. Is there electrical data that must be confirmed first with a half cell battery before proceeding to full cell testing?
i do not know the answer to this because i am not in a lab with Novacium engineers asking them direct questions on what the process is. So if someone states we are ahead of the game because of this i would expect it to be properly explained. All i did was ask a question if you dont like the question too bad cause this is shreholder money we are talking about here and i for one like to understand what im invested in. Do i believe HPQ has a future? Sure do otherwise i wouldnt still be here. So give your head a shake and realize not all questions with a (fudster tone) isnt a fudster question it just may be a question thats a little harder to answer for you.
As I stated before, half cell are used at lab scale to test general reactions of the material.
Why are they used because they are cheaper and faster to make thereby allowing the creation of many alterations of the same general product,
But they have a limitation as it regards the reproduction at larger scale of the results mostly because half cell testing is done with an unlimited quantity of lithium.
Full size batteries have on the other hand a finite of lithium. That is what results made with full cell batteries are of better quality then half cell results.
Long story short full size batteries are ready for commercial applications while half cell batteries still require to be a able to replicate the same results at full size.
