Let's see, if you made a similar battery with LiFePO4 cells, what would it take? They claim 182v and 60ah, so let's say 57 60ah cells. What's a LiFePO4 cost these days, maybe 1.10 per amp hour? (Someone update me here, I don't have current information.) So 60 * 57 * 1.10 = $3762. That's 54% more ... And the Nissan battery comes with a nice case, assuming you have a place in your converson that you can fit it. But how long has it been sitting in stock? And do you get a capacity warranty? I wonder if the LiFePO4 battery would last 54% longer.
