The two half reactions for a Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) cell (with forward being discharge): Anode (hard carbon): Anode (Hard Carbon): Li x C 6 ? Like many elements of the cell construction, the design and manufacture of the stack (figure 4) involves proprietary ideas. Range in prices = $2000 - $2500. Sub-Pack prices.
