    Yeah, the "Gen3 Prius" equivalent in Lexus world - RX450h and the 2012-2019 Highlander, for example - P/N 89892-48040 has even *less* real estate than 89892-47010/47020 (that is currently being designed around) does.

    All told: I would not expect LiBSU to *ever* cover 8-cell-style NiMH. There is not enough market, and not enough stuff in common. Or, rather, a future might exist where the guts of the LiBSU product boogy their way over to the "Gen3 Prius PHY" equivalent in 240-cell land, but I would not expect to find the LiBSU brand on them.
