Jacq-- You wrote ""D" cells in a Hybrid EV".

Yup. 240 of them in the Prius pack. Manufacture of cylindrical cells is highly automated and there don't seem to be many producers of medium sized prismatics.

Tom Hoff: You asked what a "D" cell is going for. I don't know. My Digikey catalog shows a 4/3 "a" from Panasonic for $7.38 each. These are 3700 mah at the C/5 rate. A carton of 540 cells is $2389.50.

Say, isn't that interesting: 540 cells x 3700 mah x 1.2 volts = 2.397 kwh. $2389.5 / 2.397 = $996.87 per kwh.
