yeah, well, the 3 and 4 bar losers have totally blown that theory out of the water, which makes me uneasy. it appears that whatever loss one is seeing, that it's going to be linear or even worse, it may accelerate rather than level off. I suppose that what is happening in Phoenix is so catastrophic that it's causing a atypical degradation curve. It's tempting to want to try and learn something about these batteries by what is happening in Phoenix but what we are seeing may simply not relate to the rest of the country... time will tell, bottom line though, uncertainty is bad for marketing!

I am also a bit uneasy about how the deterioration is supposed to "slow down after the initial loss". It's a great way to put off the owners, telling them "wait another year and see what happens".
