BTW battery shootouts are meaningless. Just watch the tech charts from big races.

If we knew where the cells were coming from and there are lots of manufactures of cells, that would make more sense. I don't think either SMC or Orion have the manufacturer listed on their cells anymore. Kokam or whatever it was was a selling point, but as many found out they were safer...but slower
