Such a waste! Doesn't look all that heavy, probably a similar weight to the battery in this?

I reckon it may cost a great deal more than that.

It'd inflate, like the Covid-19 respose will, but reversing global warming will save 99 times more people and their decsendents.

We'll have to refine our battery technology a lot more before we could even consider reversing global warming possible.

I watched the video in your post #68 late last night.

Wow that's light for a 232.5ah battery! Surprisingly cheap too at $1,580. Maybe I could get Jimmy to make it square? I could put it on my bike pannier, but 22.8V wouldn't work with my Bafang BBS01b. A possible 547 mile range? I'm a very lazy pedelecer who uses max assist at all times.
