I have been talking to him, I am pretty sure.  One of the big issues is
that the batteries are considered Hazardous Materials and this really
limits who can ship them and shipping them around the country, etc.  We
have that covered with the company we are working with.  Also the charging
system from the alternator is tricky.  Got that covered as well.  I am
almost ready to pump out a kit that would allow you to install one of these
in just a few minutes with very little electrical knowledge, etc.  The
price for the battery (50amp hour) and the charger is going to be around a
thousand.  This should be find for most people.  I am also working on a
100amp hour version.
