Yes, that probably does make it a little difficult to get new modules...
Sorry, I'm working with an OEM and knew only that Cobasys had product
for sale; I didn't realise that they weren't selling to individuals.

Their focus in recent years has been selling NiMH into UPS applications,
so it may still be possible to find ones that have been swapped out.

Another Ni-based option is NiZn. I haven't heard anything from eVionyx
in a while, but they were developing product for EVs and indicated that
the weaknesses of the Evercel product were not shared by theirs.

Cheers,

Roger.

Plus, small format batteries require a much better BMS than large
format batteries. That's what kills it for me.
