This looks to be another battery that uses nano-technology. I THINK that this battery is a teeny bit behind the A123 battery, but they are being shipped right now and as a complete package.
Still a very stiff price, but the price should start coming down in the future. (Hopefully once I am ready for batts, I have a good and economical choice.)
I might be able to get away with using a lower aH rating on the battery, because these batteries (and A123's) have such a high 'C' rating. I am considering the plan of utilizing a 156VDC-40aH battery pack just to get me going, but eventually adding another pack to get it to 80aH.
I NEED a range of 40-60 miles, and I don't want to have to baby the gas-pedal either. If I could expand with more batts, I would likely increase the voltage for greater acceleration, and leave the range the same.
