    Hello all,

    Has anyone been able to purchase the PbA battery box manufactured by the subject? The web site photos show a beautifully built box with relays, fans, etc.

    Looking for opinions, prices...

    A PbA battery life is very short.
    PriusPlus - EAA-PHEV
    "Operating costs are high due to an expected cycle life of only 300-400 deep cycles, providing only one to two years of daily driving (at 400 cycles, 10 electric miles per 2.1 kWh cycle, and $800/pack, battery cost is $0.95/kWh throughput or $0.20/electric-mile (in addition to the cost of electricity, usually 2-4 cents/mile depending on utility rates)."
