Therefore a new 40kWh battery in 2016 would have cost just shy of 10000. And have an inconvenient tendency to explode if disassembled incorrectly. Lead-acid batteries can explode during overcharge and gassing and when the percentage of hydrogen gas evolved exceeds 4 by volume. Safety range and costs.
