Lithium batteries typically last four hours.

What does this even mean? What a useless metric. They last alot longer than that for me. How much current does their battery draw when lasting 100 hours? What are the costs compared to lithium? Zero useful info other than "company spends money"...

No specific country, but somewhere in north america would be nice. The end of my comment was just referring to unavailability of cells made and produced in country's other than China. From my small experience most companies won't even talk to you for small orders, are very expensive or say something like they are only looking for investors. I can't wait for the day when these cells are on the shelf at local stores.

I'm using them for solar storage. Replacing a lead acid battery.

I would like to do vehical conversion one day, if prices don't come down on new. Or better yet, hopfully vehical manufactures standardized battery cell size and availably so replacing batteries in used electric isn't a $30000 nightmare.

The cells can be bought by anyone but that number doesn't take shipping into account. Alibaba or www.gobelpower.com I have bought 16 cells and getting ready to buy 32 more. Its more that other car manufactures are not using them in there vehicles and they are making luxury vehicals instead what people really need. I really wish other country's had production of cells for sale. I can't find a single one thats not China produced that will sell to the public.
