You know, I think I was mistaken earlier. It just looks like you have to take the cells down to 2.5V to get the full 65Ah out of the modules, which would indicate that they are actually new. This does imply that the "used" modules may be better than I thought. They have good data on the modules on their website - but it does somewhat conflict with the data on the eBay auctions: http://hybridautocenter.com/HAC4/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=72&Itemid=631 I would guess that they are getting the used cells out of salvaged vehicles. No idea where they are getting the "new" modules. Would be very interested to know if someone contacts them! They say they can get both the '11-12 style modules and the '13 style modules... -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)
