Worley will sell it to you today: 100Ah 3.6V cell (6.6 lb) is $220 without BMS, $300 with BMS. 240V 100Ah pack, then, (436 lb) is under $15k Not too far off. They say the $300 version sold with BMS takes 6C currents better than bare cells. Their BMS is very primitive though. http://www.worley.com.au/wecs/LithION.html Victor
