yeah if you want 20AH cells, elitepowersolutions is actually cheaper than evcomponents I think. For some reason, though, EPS's 40 AH cells are a lot more expensive than evcomponents.

With SLA's, I could barely get 3 miles range out of my batteries. When I switched to lifepo4, I get tons of range. I still haven't actually maxed the battery out yet. I think part of it is that lifepo4 doesn't have a peurkert effect like SLA so when you are in the middle of the run, you still have about as much juice as you had at the beginning. Whereas in SLA, if you are in the middle of the run, the battery is almost dead and therefore , it can't carry you as far and so it's like two times as bad.
