Thought you folks would get a kick out of these videos at YouTube. Here is the Killacycle. It uses A123's cells that will be used in the Volt. It can do about 6 1/4 mile runs before needing to be recharged. Or plug it in for about 4 minutes per 1/4 mile run! A couple vids of the bike. youtube.com youtube.com Here is a video of a A123 cell being drilled through. Nothing happens except for some smoke. The last half of the video is missing.. it would show the same thing happening with a NiCad cell... then it it burns up and explodes. youtube.com
