Well it says its 640 lbs total. Subtract ~40 lbs for packaging. 200 lbs is a rough guess.

So these battery modules are heavier than the Leaf modules?

Read the article. 
They are the same cells that are in the Leaf. |

Too bad those things are such god awefull dimensions. I would love to recycle an OEM balancer/bms.
If it fit in the C-car  Would have to go with the ZX40 but that as well, no place to put a 2.5FT tall battery, 4.2FT wide and 2.5FT long. Would have to put it all on the front bumper and blast would that suck!
Ah well. |

Yeah, I'm considering going in with the local EV guys and getting like a 1/2 pack. It would be broken up into cells and configured for my own use.
EVTV.me has pics of the module all taken apart. They also did cell testing.
