Re the motor

40 hp continuous is probably OK - but it's the controller that sets the power - I would have no worries at feeding that motor over 100 hp

The basic P & S controller is 500 amps and 150 volts = 75 kW or 100 hp

I'm feeding my Hitachi 11 inch motor about 500 hp

I like Chevy Volt batteries - about $2000 for 16 kWh
 
Hi
The volt battery is a number of modules - a 2012 will be seven 2kwh 12S modules and two 1kwh 6S modules

The 12S are 42v - 49v - (Empty to full) - sensible range - you can go a bit higher and lower
The 6S are 21v - 24.5

It's easy to mess with at "module level" - at "cell level" it's very difficult

So mix and match!

Look on the Curtis site for the MAX voltage that they are happy with

You could use two strings of three 12S - which will give you 147v (max) and 12 kWh
Which would leave one 12S and the two 6S modules left over
