[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 675546, member: 3960"] I guess it's been discussed earlier here but how can you trust battery life statements when we've been lied to for years by battery manufactures. We were sold regular AAA, AA, C and D cell batteries with 10,000 charge cycles that die after a couple of years. Then we are sold telephones and similar devices with long life lithium batteries that usually lose their effective power delivery after about two years. We rarely see a battery that lives up to its advertised life expectancy. Some lead-acid batteries and Minelab's 4500/5000 are very good but in most cases we don't get what we've been promised. People have short memories and in this throwaway world we seem to accept the vacuum cleaner, drill or the likes operating for half of the time it was meant to before dying half way through a job. Why is your EV going to be any better? [/QUOTE]
