Battery was about $650 with shipping.
LiFePO4 don't seem to have any issue with complete discharges, and I'll probably be looking at 20-25wh/mi (just from what I've seen with similar setups and speeds). I will be pedaling at least a little, like when accelerating and coming up to stops to make my deceleration a little slower (maybe I should just coast to try to save my brakes a bit). I'll also plug in the charger when I'm home for lunch to give the battery a little boost.
