I finally saw an eBay auction for a used Honda hybrid battery pack. These packs contain 120 'D' sized batteries rated at 6.5Ahr. Buy it now price $165. For that price, even if half the cells were dead, it would be a bargain. These cells can crank out some serious amps too.

Shipping would be the killer for me. Somebody around Kansas might be able to pick it up. I'm real tempted, but have no room to store it now. It also appears to contain the electronics that go with it. This should consist of a really hefty dc-dc converter with a 12v output, and the brushless motor controller. When the warranty on my Civic hybrid runs out, I'll want one of these for 'hacking'.
