There was a group buy of the 20AH pouches by 6 people on www.InsightCentral.net. It was to make a replacement pack for the Nimh pack in the Insight. Here is the link if anybody is interested.
http://www.insightcentral.net/forums/modifications-technical-issues/22532-bu ilding-grid-charged-a123-20ah-pack-pp50-project.html?highlight=a123+battery+ pack I bought into it, got 54 pouches. It cost about $26/cell including shipping from China to a central location in USA and then my 54 shipped to me. I never tested the individual pouches, but measured the V and as I remember they were all VERY close. Someone did test them and the performed very well I finally decided not to follow thru and sold them, for my cost, to another Insighter. I realized that the Heat here in AZ was BIG problem and could not come up with a viable way to keep them cool in the summer time (for the past 18 days it has been over 100 deg, and that is in the shade.....) The thread was started on May 10, 2012 and now a year+ later, not one of the 6 has a pack up and running.... The originator of the project and BMS boards, Peter Perkins, has been fantastic with his support.
