[Elecraft] Silicone batteries

[David Gilbert]

It's either a marketing term, or it's a clumsy tech writing mistake.  I 
vote the latter.

The description for the regular batteries states that the plates are a 
silicate compound, not silicone.

The description for the gel batteries jumps back and forth between using 
silicate and silicone.

The company name is Silicone Batteries, which makes me think they are 
some marketing/selling outlet that is rebranding stuff they buy 
elsewhere (probably China) and the company itself may even simply be a 
Chinese company attempting to put forth a western storefront and they 
messed up the translations.

I'm not saying that the batteries themselves and the listed specs aren't 
legitimate, but it's a clumsy presentation.
