That link should be: http://www.peltier-info.com
gotta watch out for the trasiling punctuations.

Oh, before I forget, another thing which I see alot is this:
People assume that the QMax of a TEC is the product of the VMax and IMax (related to my post above)... it is NOT.
Take the Drift-0.8 from tedist.com for isntance:
IMax: 11.3 A
VMax: 24.6 V
QMax: 172.0 W
deltaT: 69 C

Clearly, 11.3 * 24.6 != 172.0 (it equals 277.98 ~= 278). So, becareful when someone tries to sell you a peltier.. check up on all the specs, (do not assume that what they call the "wattage" of a pelt to be the QMax).
