A123 prismatic cells?

[Q-Bike]

I was the only one not knowing that the A123 cells for the GM Volt was prismatic and not the higher capacity cylindrical cells A123 announced some months ago?
There is an interesting article about the whole A123 stuff in the MIT Technology Review:

Hello Q-Bike and welcome!

One day, i'm sure instead of finding the A123 cells M1 on ebay, we will be able to buy spare Chevrelet Volt flat cell

I didn't know they were prismatic either. Thanks for letting us know.

This makes me feel better about my new purchase of 48 volt LIFEPO4 prismatic cells from justin at ebike.ca.
