   That was then, Li-ion was to be the future, this may change that.
This problem may apply to some "L-I" chemistry but not all.

   This may not be possible in very cold climates, if it's -20 f outside when you drive in
to the garage (IF YOU HAVE ONE) it won't be below +32 in there all night and the battery
pack will cool down very rapidly, before it can get much of a charge.

                  every opportunity to TAX and it shows.  (while giving very poor service)
