• Firefly Lead Acid: More Possible PHEV Batteries
  
  We chose ordinary lead-acid (PbA) batteries for our PRIUS+ conversion because we could use them to prove what was possible. The lead acid cell, a technology born in the 1850s, is reliable, safe and inexpensive. Of course, they're heavy, have few charging cycles, and degrade rapidly if left uncharged. link]. 210.247.2450.

• Measuring State-of-Charge on Lead Acid Batteries
  
  Since I'm still waiting on parts from ElectroAuto, I decided to take the plunge and do some extensive research on Lead-Acid battery technology. Given that I'm using lead-acid technology, one of the big challenges is knowing just how much charge is left in the batteries so I don't run them down below 20% SOC (or state-of-charge).
