To some observers, it may seem like closing the barn door after the horses have escaped, but next month a group of high-tech companies -- including leading notebook computer makers Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) , Lenovo, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) -- will be holding a summit meeting in San Jose, Calif., to get the ball rolling on manufacturing standards for lithium-ion batteries for portable and handheld electronic devices. The companies are part of the OEM Critical Components Committee of the IPC-Association Connecting Electronics Industries, of Bannockburn, Ill. The organization has some 2,400 members involved in making, designing or using electronic components. | ||

| A useful outcome would be if they establish standard size and shape batteries that are interchangable between brands and models. This would also help keep costs down as only standard size 4-cell, 6-cell, 8-cell, etc batteries would be used. |
