I dont think battery efficiency is anywhere near that personally.

Next issue is that NiMH uses around 6kg of Nickel per kWh so thats alot less, I guess its the film and electrolyte along with the metal housing that form your main heat sinks.

Uniform temperature distribution is not going to happen either.

Natural convection relying on the bouyoncy of air is a good cooling method on many things, gues it doesnt help a big deal on the insight though as the cells are all higher than any of the air ducts to the IPU!

Personally I dont see why fan control with a grid charge is discussed I think it should be included?
