    There are several people online hustling these plastic copies of prismatics. I've not seen any one running them !

    Why would anyone want to mess with Lithium batteries? Without a properly engineered battery management system, they can catch fire. Surely that should deter you right? These are very dangerous batteries, why do you think there are warning labels on all the shipments you receive with Lithium batteries in them? If your car wasn't engineered with them, best not to introduce it

    OfferUp, yea that's the trusted platform where I would look for buying a major HV battery unit for a Prius and trust every word written by the seller. A new factory OEM battery isn't that far off in price than these sus battery packs.
