A123s are a bettery cell.

4s=4 in series
5p=5 parallel rows.

So in that battery, there would be 20 cells as there is 5 lots of 4 cells.

4 in series gives you enough volts, the parallel ones give you capacity (or A/h).

A123s are a pretty awesome cell.

oh, cool. also i heard that instead of the acid just sitting around in it, theres sponges that absorb it and i can tilt it any angle and it will stay absorbed.. i hope this thing lasts a long time lol.

still cranks like a champ ill probably throw the battery charger on it again monthly. last time i checked it had 13.5 volts.
