I've been following them for a while. It seems like everyone who's bought batteries from them have beem happy. Some have had their batteries for a few years now and still seem to be doing well.

I am very tempted to get their HV battery for my Prius.
That's why I experimented with a $125 20Ah LiFePO4 when my OEM died. It's still going strong 7 years and counting in the Prius. Looks like Batteryspace has increased the price to $200. So much for the speculation that battery prices will continue to fall.

Seems like the one in the image above is about 40+ Ah. That's a darn good value, and I'd be tempted to have one just for experimenting, but 150 peak amps isn't enough to start most vehicles. Could be bypassed I suppose.
