RE: New 1100 mAh A123 available everywhere and no word here!
They are closing out the VPX line due to the fact that they did a very poor job of marketing them and they did not sell well. Shelf space is very valuable and can not be taken up with low volum sales items.
The cells themself are great. HomeDepot made the same kind of mistake with the DeWalt 36V cordless tools and is why many of us got great deals on A123 cells by way of EBay.
