Ouch! 2000 Euros if you buy it alone, they'll be available next year.

Huh, interesting. Thanks Damian.

I wonder if some older Porsches will ever see those batteries, and if there will be any issues getting the cables to reach down low to the terminals.

As an aside, they are now starting to use these on KF class karts in Europe, in an effort to save weight (compared to a standard AGM battery) and help with balance/weight distribution...
