So what is the percentage cost of the HW vs. Battery? I know you have 14K in the project (does that count the car?) what of that cost is batteries? I also know that lippo batteries have a smaller form factor allowing more distributed installation. If you had gone with Lippos what would have been cost over lead/acid? And then the weight savings?
