The design was scrapped.  It had been a good idea, but the cost of
the extension cord was prohibitive.

P.S. Chlorine slush batteries are currently available in auto parts stores.
        (At least I think they're chlorine slush.)  These things require

        the standard lead-acid car batteries.
