Strong Growth in Lithium Demand to Power FMC Corp., Rockwood Holdings

Author is confused about his physics and/or math. Lithium content of batteries is approximately proportional to Watt-hours, not amps. If the laptop battery is 425 W-hours and the Tesla battery is 200,000 W-hours, the ratio is about 500. For the GM Volt, it's only about 33. Also the industry is using different chemistry for big car batteries than for small laptop batteries, and how that affects lithium content I don't know.
