It was just four high-energy batteries, the kind that are found in a lot of
military equipment such as walkie-talkie sets and night vision equipment.
Similar batteries already were being used on the international space station.

But when NASA officials discovered last year that Russian space officials were

testing, they objected strenuously. The batteries could be toxic and had a small
potential to explode. The Russians went ahead anyway.
