The NiMh packs can handle heat well. They have less energy density, lower discharge rates but they can tahan abuse. At the start of lithium batteries back in 2003 they need TLC. New packs may be much better today but they always need TLC if not the packs will kembang. Esp those packed in brick form. So it depends on which manufacturer the car guys get it from and how much they pay for it.So inasmuch as the old Prius is a great guide on battery lifespan, there are also some other considerations because lithium batts are not the same as NiMh ones.</blockquote>
