The carbon fiber ones are rated for that much!? Last I saw, their limit was still unkown to the community. I can't remember specifically which one the thread I was reading was talking about, but holy shit, 1200hp?! Strange they rate it in horsepower and not torque, though.

Oh man! I was just going off Shorai's website. Didn't realize the savings elsewhere. And are you implying the Super B one will or might need a special charger?

Maybe @JRitt can give some insight on living with a Super B battery.
