Thanks for the info!

A major part of the Leaf weight is the module structure. Along with the plastic seperators, etc. (which are probably similar in weight) there is a copper bust bar setup and the "tuna can" protection. You can disassemble them; there's video about that, but it seems like a major PIA.

Also, the cell capacity is about 21Ah, 40% more than an Enerdel cell. Also, they are paired to provide 42Ah. That's fine if you want the capacity, however it does result in a heavier pack for a given voltage.

The Enerdel cell pair would hit a "sweet spot" for my voltage/capacity needs - IF a pair can supply about 350A to 400A.

Did you get the parts from Elithion?
