mena, the replacement has been nicknamed the lizard battery for the new heat tolerant electrode material. Time will tell if it holds up significantly better. Still just ambient cooling unlike most other EVs with active temperature management.

Read the new one's would be liquid cooled as well. Guess I need to find some more sources.

They've come down a little... (But are still quite expensive.)

LiFePO4 100AH for $1,300

LiFePO4 200AH for $2,400

What's funny is that the 200Ah battery would be enough for most people and have more usable capacity than two 6V GC's (you can use 80-90% of LI's capacity).
