If you were talking to me and referring to post #13, that was pulled from the Tesla Model S battery pack.
They cost about $900-$1500 each depending on where you source them and their condition.
It might sound expensive, but it's not. It would take 7 Odyssey Extreme group 34 batteries weighing in at 350 lbs to match it's raw capacity.
The Tesla module weights 55 lbs and still has a longer service life.
You can find these all over the place like forums/eBay. EV West in San Diego is a reputable place to buy stuff like this. They specialize in EV conversions but also sell parts to DIYers.
