All of Drivel's theories are blown away by the poor thermal

density lightweight batteries have much lower thermal efficiencies
than lead-acid batteries.

I find it interesting that many car makers are going to expensive
lengths
to save weight - extensive use of aluminium etc. But still fit lead acid
batteries - where cost really isn't a consideration.

It's because lead acid batteries don't need complex charge
controllers, work across a wide range of environmental temperatures
and provide huge cranking currents time after time. They are big,
rough and tough and also extremely efficient compared to any of the
alternatives around.

The last sentence proves you know ZERO about batteries.

Please feel free to contradict me with facts instead of bluster.
