Just a quick note to affirm the need for caution around Lithium-Ion battery packs.
All Li-Ion packs are not created equal. Charging rates depend upon capacity, and proper Li-Ion packs have built-in protection modules. Study batteryspace.com to get a handle how these things are built. This company is "the American partner" of a small battery mfr in China. The Chinese company manufactures the cells, the American company puts them in packs with protection circuitry and suitable connectors, and does the marketing.
My neighbor, W6GJB, bought one of their bigger LiFe 12V packs. Looks quite solid.
