Very interesting. On the eBay Auction they say you can get a half-pack for $2160. Now, these modules don't seem to be quite as good as a new LEAF cell which are rated at 66 Ah new. On the eBay auction they are rating them at 55-58Ah which would be expected for a 2-3 year old LEAF pack in a typical climate. On their website their own test rates it at 62 Ah for a supposedly new module. Not sure why the new ones are rated lower than expected here. Perhaps not fully broken in? For $125 I would be tempted to buy one just to fully test it out and run it through a few cycles on my Lithium battery charger. If nothing else, it'd make a good bookend! -Dave _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
