I suggest you have a look for LiFePo batteries, some one had a link for them
here
a few months ago. the size and performance is quite a bit better than LiPo.
If memory
serves a 14v battery weighed in at about a pound and was good for about
150amp draw
so you could use it to start your A/C a bit of quick hunting I found AA size
cells 3.2 volts
at 10Ah capacity.

Hi All,
I am trying to determine the battery technology. Unless I am missing it,
I can't find it stated. Can anyone else ?
I did find a light weight battery for the race car fraternity that was Li
Ion, that was 4 pounds at around 16 a/h capacity, but I have lost the URL.
The Li Ion tehnology brings with it different problems. I saw a very
impressive video demonstrating a nail piercing a set of cells, the result
was explosive to say the least.
Anyhow, if anyone tumbles over the URL please forward it on to me.
Cheers, Paul
