So, I see 24V lithium batteries with a capacity of 3Ahr on eBay for about $70 each. What's the typical requirements to power a small electric car conversion? If you put 5 of them in series to get a 120V pack, then wire 3 or 4 packs in parallel, what kind of range and speed can you expect? 15-20 of those batteries don't seem that expensive. Is my math totally off here?
