   For LiFePO4 the current limit is typically the Amp-hour rating or a small   
   multiple of it, ...   
   ---------------------------   
   Which means that a 12V, 100Ah LiFePO4 could ideally power a 1.6 HP motor for   
   an hour. 16 of them in the BMS maximum 4S4P configuration equals 25HP. I had   
   such an engine in a Beetle, whose 0-60 time was 15 minutes while the tranny   
   oil warmed up.   
      
   That was a good excuse to avoid the Autobahn and instead wander through   
   picturesque little villages on service calls. At the time the Autobahn was a   
   squareish loop around the edges of Bavaria and cutting across diagonally was   
   nearly as quick, plus a Jeep or Army truck wasn't much faster and I couldn't   
   leave them parked outside a Gasthaus overnight.
