I'd like to echo this thanks as well.
I found a bit more info on the 7.6V/60Ah (2S2P) LiMn2O4 with LiNiO2 Leaf battery modules. They offer 240A continuous, 540A pulse discharge rate. (per Hybrid Auto Center's website). From the Nissan Leaf First Responders Guide, I find 403.2V as the max pack voltage. (48 modules at 8.4V each). I can't find the dead-short current capacity of a module or pack, but it would likely be a bit higher than 540A. What would those more educated in lithium battery chemistry guess at here? Volt modules are rated a bit lower, being similar chemistry but only 45Ah per 1S3P "blade".
