Chris Cantell Discusses Business: Mercedes S To Get Lithium-Ion Batteries and I Do Adore Mercedes S
by Kamila Moravcikova

Producer of Mercedes & Daimler AG - said that the lithium-ion battiers will be used in the Mercedes S 400 Blue Hybrid. Isn't that great? In racional point of view one has to say that li-ion battiers are rechargable thanks to lithium ions moving from anode to cathode back and forth. And the racional one has to say that such a battery is smaller but more powerful and it's great that Daimler-Mercedes made this transition from nickel-metal batteries to the li-ion ones as its competitors (GM or Toyota) are about to launch their models of vehicles using this technology as well. This was about candid facts and objective reality. This will be about the subjectives feelings. No doubt, this li-ion affair is cool. But, honestly, it isn't the fact they use such batteries that makes me so excited when somebody mentions Mercedes (especially class S). When I think of Mercedes' sedan I think of its special smell, of that unique sound of engine, of that feeling I immediately get when I sit down and clutch the leather seat. Pure German masterpiece. It has nothing to do with snobbery or addiction to luxury, I think everyone has that special "something" that makes him/her so pleasant and thrilled only by thinkig of it, touching it, being close to it, it's just like special kind of love or obsession.I do love those cars even though it's unlikely I'm gonna get Mercedes anytime soon (with or without li-ion battery). First of all, I'm really bad driver and those cars don't deserve driver like me. I wouldn't be able to park such a huge car by any means! Moreover, I'm completely broke. On the other hand, it not neccessarily means I cannot dream about my sweet Mercedes, nowadays in addition improved by lithium-ion battery.
