I've been cycle testing some ALM's for capacity and they tend to be closer to 4.8Ahr with an end of discharge cut off of 12V. --Erik @ EVDM (buyA123batteries.com)

FYI: The AMP20 cells that I'm selling are CURRENT PRODUCTION as in manufactured as recently as a few months ago. I toured the A123 factory in Livonia, MI last month (got my own private "How It's Made" tour). It is an amazing facility. They have optimized their production line so that the cells...

The AMP20 cells that I'm reselling are made in Livonia, Michigan. --Erik @ EVDM (buyA123batteries.com)

I forgot that in order to split a case, I would need a case shipped to me first (more shipping charges), so the cell cost is more like $73-75. It just gets more expensive the more I think about it :-( --Erik @ EVDM (buyA123batteries.com)

Here's the math on "splitting a case": The AMP20 module has an energy capacity that REQUIRES dangerous goods shipping (either ground or air), and as such triggers dangerous goods fees and paperwork on all shipments. UPS has a flat $27.50 fee for dangerous goods shipments. Also required is UNDOT...
