    To replace the 201.6 volt, 125 amp, 6.5 amphour hybrid battery? Why?

    If the highest-output ones you're looking at can give 5 amps. you'll be looking at around 1,350 of them, in something like a 54s25p configuration. You'll also need to build a battery management system able to prevent imbalances developing within or between those 25 strings of 54, and work out how to make your BMS communicate with the car's HV control ECU.

    It sounds like a good source of headaches ....
