I believe that's Li-ion and not SLA.
A few dozen of those would really be nice for a plug in hybrid!

I've always known "SLA" to mean sealed lead-acid when refering to batteries. But I'm easily confused anyway...   |

Enginer makes an equivalent that weighs the same but costs less than 1/10 the price and has more capacity.
Lithium-ion Batteries | Enginer | Hybrid Plug In, Plugin

It's "SLI" --- for starting, lights & ignition. It's right there in the linked article.  |
