Inspired by this site, I'm looking at 18650 cells to power a car with, say, a 72v WarP 9 DC motor.
I've found a UK source of 18650 cells with prices and spec as follows:
Rated Capacity: 3Ah
Amp Rating: 18A (Mooch)
Full Charge Voltage: 4.2V
£3.35 each
Am I right in thinking that 560 x 18650 would make a battery of 20kWh - enough for maybe an hour's worth of relaxed driving?
How do they stack up against other types of cell?
Is it worth the hassle of buying and breaking old laptop battery packs?
