[Electric Boats] Re: Anyone have experience with 144 volt motor systems?

 

These Nickel-Iron batteries do seem to have big capacity, but their spec sheet doesn't mention weight. Comparing to the storage capacity alone, they seem to be about $0.65/Wh, Lithium-Iron cells are about $0.40-$0.45/Wh and AGM are $0.20-$0.25/Wh. Their lifespan in cycles according to manufacturers' spec sheets seems to be about the same as Lithium-Iron cells.
