Their watthour-per-pound ratings are about the same as any other lead-acid battery. So, a pack with a given amount of energy storage would weigh about the same as a pack of Trojans, or Optimas. The problem is that they have high internal resistance, and high Peukert exponents. Great for a fork lift or milk float that creeps around for 8 hours a day at low speeds. But terrible for an EV pack that you want to drain in half an hour at 70 mph. -- Lee A. Hart Ring the bells that still can ring 814 8th Ave. N.
