This is QUITE interesting! One question I would have is would this battery be subject to a runaway charging situation? Another question, will the under-hood temperature exceed the maximum in southern states in the hot southern areas of the country? Can't wait to see all the responses to this idea. Also, why hasn't any battery manufacturers done this for vehicular applications?
