Yes, i was referring to that. I understand you've created the beast on a low budget, but everyone on DIYElectricCar and EVDL is screaming foul when people claim that lead acid is cheaper... you'll get lower long-run costs with a premium pack... hence the "pinch your pennies and deal with 72V for now" comment. And heck, once you've got 144V of lithium or lifepo or whatever, you can always put them into your next car when the wheels rust off your metro.
