A123 20Ah pouch cells rated at 30C discharge
Nissan Leaf 23Ah (I think) cells rated at 8C discharge (This is cell, not module data)
If anyone has any more options, I'd love to hear about them.  |
CALB has a higher rated cell that is physically smaller and lighter. CAM72 is what they are called, I think. Price premium - just under $2 per a-h. But they take up less room and weigh less than the CA series. EVTV testing has gone up to 15C .. or was it 20C? Unless you are going to short circuit the batteries and weld with them, I don't think there is much difference?
I guess the dragsters would notice the difference.
The web site for CALB lists a 25 a-h version but I have not seen one for sale so far.

There is also a CAM80 which has a different form factor.
