Please get your facts straight and don't rely on hints. TS-LP36V and TS-LP42V ARE 36V and 42V batteries respectively, consisting of individual 10 or 12 cells, just like 12V optima consists of 6 cells. Granted, there is some sort of per-cell monitoring integrated in, still this is a battery as complete product. No different from Optima if they'd integrated a reg per-cell - the same concept. BTW the price of a battery is exactly the price of 10 or 12 cells it consists of, + BMS. See http://thunder-sky.com/Cpjs_next1(En).htm Victor
