I like the pack, looks very sturdy.

Those M1Hd's are very tall, much mor difficult to tuck away in a robot.

Where does the 4.4Ah figure come from?

If you zoom in on the first image, you will see it says 12v 60Wh - 4.6Ah

I'm guessing they just stuck 2 x 4cell packs in parallel as a module.. Rated at 12v, but probably just a 13.4v pack.. close enough for most electronics Smile

An interesting bit of information that might fit here... I just got a brand spanking new 5100mah polyquest car pack... says on the side:
"ENERLAND. A division of A123Systems"
Interesting! Were they always or is this a merge between the two big battery names?

I vaguely recall that A123 originally got Enerland to make their cells for them - I guess they like the company so much, they bought them...

Perhaps if it had been the other way around, we could actually buy those cells Evil or Very Mad

Hmm... I believe your right. Confused
Best price for A123 normal cells I can get is 15US ea... Ebay is trash now, way too many snipers and prices for the packs have skyrocketed. Crying or Very sad
