I use D's on my bike, works fine. I can get 15 miles without pedaling at 13 mph (how fast I can pedal continuously) More like 6 at 20 mph without pedaling. With pedaling (heavy, but far from max) I can do 24~26 mph and get 22 miles (drooping towards the end of the pack)

However I WOULD NOT use them to power a car (excluding streamliner single seat extreme efficiency type thing.).

Figure max 10 amp discharge rate MAX through most of the cycle I have around 7 amps max.
