There looks like batteries are improving in leaps and bounds at the moment with lithium-ion(lifepo4), Li-ion Manganese, and Li-polymer all promising bigger storage capacity, longer run times, and longer life cycles, is there a place for them all or will one come out on top, i.e. like Betamax, VHS,
For bike manufacturers I think it will be Li-polymer for the present and LiFePO4 following some while later.

I understand that most e-bike distributors favour Li-polymer, and their opinion will be influential.
