What about nimh?
Good thought! The only possible problem with that is that in recent years
I've found it difficult to find good quality high-rate NiMH cells.
Indeed. You know the old saying; the Bad drives out the Good.
I wonder if one could use a set of Prius modules? They are certainly
high quality, and rated at 7.2v x 6.5ah = 46.8 Wh and about 2.5 lbs
each. Four of them gives you a 28v 187Wh 10 lbs pack.
Of course, you can only get used ones. The challenge would be to find
some that are not *too* used (i.e. not removed from a Prius because they
were worn out).
